I know this isn't going to thrill you, but here are two Google views of Corn Products International http://www.cornproducts.com/ plants that I located:
Stockton, CA http://maps.google.com/?ll=37.911032,-12...7&t=h&z=17 and
Winston-Salem, NC http://maps.google.com/?ll=36.032993,-80...3&t=h&z=18. Pretty big facilities to say the least. Looks like they do the whole operation at these facilities - mill the corn to produce the corn starch - then process the corn starch to get both liquid and granular corn sugar. Corn starch would also be shipped out along with corn oil and corn gluten feed, based on the products that Corn Products has on their web site.

I suppose your facility could do the same thing, but on a much smaller scale - receive the corn in gravity discharge covered hoppers, then ship out corn starch in the P/D hoppers, corn oil in tanks like the one in your photo and the HFCS in corn syrup tanks.
