“ There ’ s lots of opportunities in the world of sustainability at the moment . As process engineering experts , we are able to continually optimize our clients ’ processes in order to drive down utility consumption . We also work on more efficient ways for customers to create and distribute their end products . We ’ ve established four specific commercial segments within CPM Engineered Solutions which is the business area that brings Crown innovations and technologies to market . We have the specialty segment , in which a dedicated team of experts strategically use core technology and industry knowhow to work on bespoke client projects . We also have segments dedicated to our core capabilities of crush , liquids , and aftermarket and field services . These include preparation ,
solid , liquid solvent extractions , and liquid purifications for edible oils , biofuels , and oleochemicals .
“ We ’ ve been able to adapt our technology and processes to new markets outside the oil seed industry . A good example of that would be textile recycling . The textile industry in the west is trending toward recycled materials as part of a broader sustainability effort . In response to this , we worked within CPM ’ s other business units to gain insights into the preparation equipment and adapted our technology that we use to extract soybean oil from the soybeans so that it can be used for testing material capabilities in the textile market . There are other commercial markets that are looking to re-use materials in a similar way , for example waxes that are intertwined with something else can be extracted and repurposed . If it is a solid and has a liquid component , we most likely have the knowledge and resources to extract .
“ These successes come from the creative , curious and innovative environment that CPM ’ s Crown has cultivated . Our people have the drive and know-how to competently test processes , gather data , collect samples , and expand the capabilities of our technology . We ’ re showing customers what our systems can actually do , and it ’ s far more than ever imagined ,” Kris enthuses .
Pushing boundaries
As more and more businesses look for sustainable operating solutions , CPM stays one step ahead . As Bill Morphew , Global Vice President of Sales in Engineered Solutions ’ Liquid Segment , discusses : “ We ’ ve been on a long journey with sustainability . Our focus started off with biodiesel , and that experience with biofuels has led us to where we are today , with renewable diesel ( RD ) and sustainable aviation fuel ( SAF ). It ’ s really interesting to see how those ideas have grown and
