Amber Wave, a company affiliated with Summit Agricultural Group, on Oct. 30 launched production at its wheat protein facility in Phillipsburg, Kansas. The facility also has the capacity to produce 50 MMgy of advanced ethanol from wheat feedstock.
The biorefining complex is located at the site of the former Prairie Horizons Agri-Energy LLC facility, which was acquired by Summit Agricultural Group through its investment affiliate Summit Ag Investors in mid-2021. Following the acquisition, Summit retrofitted the existing corn ethanol plant to produce ethanol from wheat starch and constructed a state-of-the-art wheat protein ingredients facility at the plant site.
In its announcement, Amber Wave confirmed the biorefinery began production on Oct. 27 and is now producing AmberPro Vital Wheat Gluten, a domestic source of gluten for commercial bakeries, food ingredient plants, alternative meat manufacturers, pet food processors and specialty feed companies.
