Tour an Ethanol Plant

Curious about the process that turns grain corn into ethanol?
From field to tank, we invite you to 'join us' on this tour.
When you're through, let us know in the comments how many co-products come from this process. We're guessing you'll have the right answer!

I worked in Ethanol and ENA Distillation company before joining the Military.....
After completing my Degree in Chemical Engineering i worked in Distillation company for 2 years
That plant was 200 Klpd for ENA production and 100 Klpd for Ethanol production.

Thank you! such a sustainable form of energy production with very little waste !! everything is used

Consider sweet sorghum as a feedstock too. Way less energy to bust up cellulose when sweet sorghum is cranking out 20+ Brix juices...

Nice Ethanol Plant,

First rule of renewable fuel production is never touch foods, unlike are food waste. Anyway, corn residue can be used to make biomethane with which produce your own energy for the plant.
