Ethanol production process

Akọrọ, Wet, and Electrostatics na nso nso, multiple technologies have entered the market to address the need to generate high-protein coproducts. These technologies can be classified into two segments: ndị ahụ ejikọtara na usoro mmepụta nke ethanol ma rụọ ọrụ na mmiri iyi mmiri. And those that occur after the ethanol production process and operate on dry process streams. The wet technologies often utilize combination of separation methods that rely on particle size modification such as grinding, urughuru nkewa oke dị ka filtration ma ọ bụ echetakwa, na njupụta nkewa dị ka nkewa cyclone iji kewaa yist na eriri osisi. These systems may be before or after the fermentation stage. Otú ọ dị, the separation of protein from fiber occurs before distillers grains are dried. These wet systems are integrated into ethanol process and therefore operate simultaneously with ethanol plant.

Site na iche, dry processing methods are independent of the ethanol production process ma rụọ ọrụ na mmiri DDGS ozugbo. Dị otú ahụ na usoro mgbe ahu nagide-egweri, air classification, or dry sieving. Otu akwụkwọ ọhụụ na-eji nkewa nke electrostatic iji mepụta DDGS protein dị elu site na iwepu eriri na mmiri na-enweghị mmiri, Usoro njedebe-azụ nke na-adabereghị na usoro mmepụta ethanol.

Electrostatics

Electrostatics bụ ihe ọhụụ na ọ fọrọ nke nta ka onye ọ bụla nwee ahụmahụ mbụ na ndụ kwa ụbọchị, ma ole na ole ezutewo na ụlọ ọrụ mmepụta ihe. It is the effect of rubbing a balloon on a person’s hair. Dika balloon roba na-abanye na ntutu mmadụ, ọ na-ewepu elektrọn na ntutu. Nke a bụ n'ihi na roba na ọtụtụ polymer nwere nnukwu electronegativity (mmekọrita maka elektrọn). A na-ahapụ balloon ahụ na ụgwọ na-adịghị mma, ọ chịkọbaala elektrọn ndị ọzọ, na ntutu isi nke isiokwu ahụ nwere ụgwọ dị mma. Electrical charges repel each other, ya mere, ntutu isi nke isiokwu ahụ na-eguzo na njedebe iji mee ka ebe dị anya n'etiti eriri ntutu ndị ọzọ ebubo nke ọma.

N'ihe banyere DDGS, protein and fiber acquire opposite electrical charges upon contact with each other, allowing them to be separated from each other in a high-strength electric field.

Electrostatics is not a new phenomenon and has a large number of real-world and industrial applications. Electrostatic nkewa has been used by selected industries for many years. In mineral processing and recycling applications, electrostatic nkewa anọwo na azụmahịa were dịkarịa ala 50 afọ. Electrostatic nkewa nke osisi dabeere ihe e nyochara ihe karịrị 140 afọ, na nke mbụ patent maka electrostatic nkewa nke ọka wit ntụ ọka middlings gbara akwụkwọ dị ka n'oge dị ka 1880.

Ash na ndepụta

ST Equipment & Technology a na-eji electrostatic nkewa na ulo oru ngwa ebe 1995. It is used to process fly ash from coal power plants. N'ime 20 nde tọn ngwaahịa ada uyi e esichara site STET separators arụnyere na U.S.. naanị.

Ọ bụ ezie na ụfọdụ, repurposing technology to process fly ash (a enyo aluminosilicate ịnweta fọdụrụ site na-ere ọkụ ọkụ maka ike) itinye uche na protein nke osisi site na DDGS nwere ike iyi ihe iju. In truth, ahịa DDGS na ahịa uyi na-ekerịta oke ihe ijuanya. Maka ndị mbido, both products are generated in large volumes in the U.S. With an estimated 36 million metric tons of distillers grains produced by the U.S. ụlọ ọrụ ethanol na 2019. Site n'iji ya tụnyere, ndị US. ụlọ ọrụ na-ere ọkụ na-emepụta gburugburu 35 nde metrik tọn ada uyi na 2017. A na-ere ngwaahịa abụọ na oke ala. Their value is highly dependent on processing and transporting large volumes at low costs.

Both DDGS and fly ash ultimately derive their value from displacing other higher-cost materials. Ofufe ash nọchiri nke ciment, the most expensive component in ready-mix concrete. DDGS soro na protein ndi ozo di ka soy, canola, and sunflower meal, n'etiti ndị ọzọ.

DDGS and fly ash have to make the journey from low-value waste stream to value-added coproduct. Fly ash was long considered a waste product. To be landfilled until low-cost technologies enabled it to be recycled as a value-added component in ready-mix concrete. DDGS mekwara ụdị ihe ahụ, from being considered a low-value feed material to becoming a manufactured feed ingredient. It is globally exported and increasingly sold under trademarked names with an emphasis on quality and consistency.
