Press Release Summary = FEECO International has developed a new Rotary Cooler for
Ethanol Plants

Press Release Body = Green Bay, WI (March 2, 2007) - FEECO, a world leading
manufacturer of rotary coolers has developed a counter-flow cooler for use on
Distillers Dried Grains with Solubles (DDGS) in the ethanol industry. FEECO\'s
technical capability and experience with rotary counter-flow coolers assures \'best
of class\' equipment and performance for your ethanol plant.

Why counter-flow?
Counter-flow cooling provides inherent advantages that absolutely cannot be achieved
with alternate approaches. Counter-flow cooling is recognized as more efficient and
effective than cross-flow or co-flow cooling, including fluid bed and negative lift
systems.

Principle of Operation
Counter-flow cooling uses air moving in the opposite direction to the DDGS flow. The
DDGS discharging from the dryer is exposed to the warmest air available within the
cooler, minimizing the temperature shock. As the DDGS travels the length of the
cooler it is continuously in contact with the cooler air. Utilizing special design
techniques, DDGS discharge temperatures within 10°F of the ambient air temperature
can be achieved, without mechanical cooling. The gradual heat transfer enhances the
product quality and provides cooler, more stable DDGS.

Counter-flow cooling benefits:
. Improved product quality
. Lower DDGS discharge temperature
. Lower operating costs
. Less cooling air required
. Reduced storage problems (mold, mildew, etc)
. High reliability and low maintenance
. Reduced dryer energy requirements

So why doesn\'t everyone use Counter-flow Cooling for DDGS?
The thermal analysis of counter-flow cooling is the easy part. The complicated part
is the physical design of a counter-flow cooler for powders and small particulates.
Designing an efficient and effective counter-flow cooler for DDGS is more difficult
than designing an inefficient co-flow or cross-flow cooler.

FEECO has over 40 years experience designing and fabricating counter-flow rotary
drum coolers. FEECO has a demonstrated expertise and understanding of the subtle
difference between rotary drum counter-flow coolers and co-flow dryers. FEECO
combines this expertise with a reputation for robust construction to provide an
efficient, effective counter-flow cooler.

FEECO International, Inc has been supplying companies globally for 55 years with
equipment such as Rotary Dryers, Rotary Coolers (including counter-flow coolers for
DDGS in the Ethanol industry) Pin Mixers, Disc Pelletizers, Material Handling
Equipment, Process Systems, Rotary Calciners, Rotary Coolers / Dryers, Rotary Kilns
and more.
