WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO
Tharaldson Ethanol is located just West of Casselton, ND, an area known for its rich farming tradition. Tharaldson Ethanol provides a much-needed local market for area corn growers, requiring about 60 million bushels of corn annually, which will in turn produce 170 million gallons of ethanol and about 450,000 tons of dried distiller’s grain each year.
Our state-of-the-art facility has the latest, most innovative and energy efficient technology in the marketplace. Here are some of the highlights:
- Low natural gas consumption per gallon of ethanol produced due to reusing energy throughout the facility
- Low water consumption per gallon of ethanol produced
- No use of area groundwater resources as the facility uses the City of Fargo’s wastewater to operate
- Excellent state highway and interstate access combined with direct access to both the BNSF Railway and the Red River Valley & Western Railroad, providing the plant with efficient means of transporting both inbound and outbound commodities
- Extensive grain storage infrastructure including a grain dryer to accommodate wet corn
