• Wheat Syrup is delivered in 29 bulk tankers and is available UK wide, all year around.

• Tanks should be built to hold and dispatch bulk liquids, and should be used within 4 weeks.

• They should be well maintained and cleaned out regularly to prevent any build-up of sediment.

• A 4-inch diameter pipe work is adequate to handle Wheat Syrup.

Wheat Syrup is a co-product from ethanol production produced from the liquid remaining after the ethanol has been distilled off and the fibres removed. It is a mix of predominantly wheat proteins and fibres plus yeast fragments. The dry matter of the liquid is increased by evaporation to produce a balance between a flowing liquid and minimising unnecessary water transportation.

Wheat Syrup is a FEMAS assured (or a recognised equivalent) product. Wheat Syrup is listed under number 1.12.8 in the EU Catalogue of Feed Materials.
