10MM Gallons/Year Ethanol Plant

Used 10 MM gallons/year ethanol plant Product Capacity: Ethanol: 10 million gallons per year 95% alcohol: 700,000 gallons per year Wet Distiller’s Grain: 48,000 – 53,600 tons per year Syrup: 33,000 – 37,000 tons per year Raw Material: Corn Built 1996, Upgraded 2006, Shut down 2015 Annual Material Consumption: Corn: 165,600,000 lbs Ammonia: 222,400 lbs Caustic: 1,038,166 lbs Sulfuric acid: 799,935 lbs Utility Consumption: Natural Gas: 25,900 BTU / gal ethanol Electricity: 1 KW / gal ethanol Major Equipment: • Centrifuge (2005) • Beer Column (2006) • Stripper Column (2006) • Acid Reduction Column (2006) • Rectifier Column (2006) • Molecular Sieve Vessels (2006) • Regeneration Receiver (2006) • Hammer Mill A (2000) & B (2007) • Condensate Separator (2006) • CO2 Scrubber (2006) • Liquefaction Tank A & B (1999) • West Yeast Propagation Tank (2006) • East Air Compressor (2014) • Dilute Caustic Tank (2006) • Liquefaction Tank (2006) • Condensate Exchanger (2006) The plant was originally commissioned in 1996, and upscaled around 2005 - 2006. Many equipment items have been replaced with new ones in the recent years. The new equipment is designed according to industrial standards for continuous operation (24 hours/day, 7 days/week). The plant includes all process areas: Grain Receiving and Storage, Corn Cleaning and Milling, Liquefaction and Cooking, Yeast Propagation and Fermentation, Distillation, Dehydration, Stillage Evaporation, Stillage Separation, WDG Storage and Shipping, Fuel Ethanol Storage and Loading, CIP System, and Chemical Storage. The plant yield is an average of 0.5 lb of anhydrous ethanol and 0.49 lb of WDG (wet cake) per lb of fermentable starch. Instrumentation is mainly Endress Hauser. Operation system is Siemens PCS7 installed in 2015.
