Corncob Burner Powers Pioneer Seed Plant in Marengo
AP reports Pioneer Hi Bred International uses a 300000 dollar corncob burner at its Marengo seed corn plant. The unit dries seed corn across one of 21 plants and 47 drying units in the U S and Canada, targeting about 450000 bushels this year. Production manager Robert Dahlberg notes the five stage burner yields heat for about 250 homes per hour and leaves almost no residue, with savings versus propane or natural gas. Former opera star Maria Jeritza is 88 years old today.
