Bioethanol production
Bioethanol is blended into transport fuel to reduce its overall carbon footprint, and is produced by fermenting biological feedstock materials such as sugarcane and corn. Other starch crops include wheat, barley, rice and tapioca, while cellulosic fibres from crop and wood residues, dedicated energy crops, and industrial waste can also be used. Alfa Laval delivers leading bioethanol production technology for use throughout the process, increasing uptime and yield while saving energy & space.
Alfa Laval is helping to support producers in their drive to make bioethanol production more profitable and sustainable, enabling them to:
- Get the most out of every processing step with components that help maximize yield, uptime, and product quality, while minimizing energy consumption
- Achieve optimal separation performance, reliability and energy efficiency by using industry-leading decanters to remove spent grains
- Boost efficiency through heat recovery by high-performance heat exchangers, as a close-temperature approach optimizes uptime and means a rapid ROI
- Access innovative technologies primed for use at every process phase whatever the feedstock, from sugarcane and corn to other starch crops and waste
