Ethanol Biofuel Competitive Advantage & Growing Income Utilizing Enzyme Biofuel

By Victor Garlington


Ethanol and other such alcohol based renewable fuels produced from corn, maize, grains and other such plant matter which are then combined or put together with, or swapped directly for fuel.

Ethanol producers have the capability to strengthen their net income by developing their non-edible corn oils into diesel biofuel implementing enzymatic biodiesel production systems. The enzymatic process currently will allow producers to process material with up to five percent moisture in the non-edible oil feed material, without needing to refine the vegetable oil to reduce free fatty acids or eliminate waxes. This can be completed with an operating temperature of 85 F. with a refinement 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 can provide Ethanol producers a greater revenue on a commodity they currently produce.
