CO-PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL FROM WHEAT IN A COMMERCIAL STARCH/ GLUCOSE/FEED PROTEIN PLANT

Objective

TO DEMONSTRATE FEASIBILITY OF CO-PRODUCTION OF ETHANOL (FROM WHEAT) ALONGSIDE STARCH, GLUCOSE SYRUPS AND PROTEIN FEED IN EXISTING INDUSTRIAL UNITS (UK AND BELGIUM). IMPROVING OVERALL RAW MATERIAL UTILISATION AND UPGRADING A LOW VALUE BY-PRODUCT.

I.- INVESTIGATION OF ETHANOL YIELD IN PILOT PLANT

II.-INVESTIGATION OF YEAST NUTRITION AND OPTIMUM STRAIN EVALUATION IN LABORATORY.

III.- OPTIMISATION OF SUBSTRATE CONVERSION AND MARGINAL REFINING IN PILOT PLANT.

IV.- OPTIMISATION OF ETHANOL PRODUCTION FROM A VARIABLE 10-20% DRY SOLIDS INPUT LABORATORY AND PILOT PLANT.

V.- INVESTIGATION OF UPSTREAM PROCESS CHANGES - ALTERNATIVE EQUIPMENT TO ASSIST OPTIMISATION OF (I) TO (IV) ABOVE IN PLANT AND PILOT.

VI.- INVESTIGATION OF STEAM - COOLING WATER USE IN EXISTING PROCESSING PLANT.

VII.- ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE TO DEVELOP FUTURE ACTION PLAN.
