According to the University of Iowa, 43 million metric tons of distillers grain will be produced from 2013 to 2014. This influx is directly related to the expected increase of ethanol production. As the need for distillers grain continues to grow, so does the need for proper transportation methods. Distillers grain can present many problems during shipping as it must be kept dry and can be highly corrosive to many transportation containers.
