Ethanol Biofuel Strategies For Competitive Advantage And Building Revenue Through Enzyme Biofuel Production

By Vic Garlington


Ethanol biofuel and various such alcohol based renewable fuels distilled from corn, maize, grain and other such plant matter that could be mixed or put together with, or swapped specifically for gas.

Ethanol producers have the opportunity to strengthen their profits by refining their own non-edible corn vegetable oil into biodiesel fuel using enzymatic biodiesel production processes. The enzymatic process currently will allow manufacturers to process material with as much as 5% water in the non-edible oil feed material, while not having to refine the vegetable oil to reduce FFA or eliminate waxes. This is completed with an operating temperature of 85 F. with a processing cost less than $1.00.

The abundance of non-edible corn feedstock oils throughout the U.S. may just be used in developing renewable biofuels. The vast majority of ethanol plants have plans to employ technologies to take out the residual vegetable feedstock processed from distillers dry grains with solubles (DDGS). Corn oil is most frequently pertaining to food preparation, but a type of non-edible corn oil is also produced as a co-product from the ethanol processing methods of production. Until recently, this valuable oil feedstock was stuck in the DDGS and sent to the cattle feed marketplaces.

The corn ethanol objective is 15 billion US gallons before year 2015 if only lb of corn vegetable oil is extracted from every bushel of corn it could create almost 400mmg of un-edible corn oil for biodiesel development. Because of the large quantity of non-edible corn oil in the U.S. it is possible to use it to assist the bio-diesel biofuels marketplace and produce improved net income for companies that produce ethanol.

Modern corn vegetable oil equipment used for the ethanol sector are created to take out un-edible corn vegetable oil from the whole stillage operation right away ahead of creation of distillers grains solubles (DDGS). This unique processing for nonedible corn oil works extremely well precisely for corn oil to biodiesel by an ethanol producer.

The enzymatic system can process non-edible corn oils efficiently for ethanol producers, even corn vegetable oil feedstocks consisting of 0-100 FFA can be processed at an operating temperature of only 85 F and a very minimal amount of ethanol is needed. There's no caustics required and no formation of soap.

Applying the enzymatic biodiesel production process will provide Ethanol manufacturers a better return on a commodity they already produce.
