Bioethanol Competitive Advantage And Developing Investor Returns Using Enzymatic Transesterification

By Victor Garlington


Ethanol and other such alcohol based renewable fuels distilled from corn, maize, grain and other such plant matter that could be mixed or blended with, or replaced directly for gasoline.

Ethanol manufacturers currently have the opportunity to grow their income by developing their own non-edible corn oils into biodiesel fuel implementing enzymatic biodiesel production processors. The enzymatic process immediately will allow manufacturers to process feedstock oil with up to five percent water in the non-edible oil feed material, and never having to refine the oil to decrease FFA or get rid of waxes. This is all accomplished at an operating temperature of 85 F. with a refinement cost less than 1 dollar per gallon.

The abundance of non-edible corn feedstock oils throughout the U.S. could be put to good use in establishing self-sufficient biofuels. Most ethanol plants already have plans to use solutions to get rid of the rest of the vegetable feedstock deriving from distillers dry grains with solubles (DDGS). Oil from corn grains is most commonly linked to cooking food, however there is a type of non-edible corn oil which is generated as a by-product of the ethanol production process. Up to now, this oil was stuck in the DDGS and shipped to the cattle feed market segments.

The ethanol corn gas objective was to produce Fifteen billion US gallons by 2015 if only a half lb of oil feedstock was processed from each bushel of corn farmers produce it could actually deliver at least 400 million gallons of un-edible corn oil for biofuel processing. Due to the large volume of non-edible corn oil within the United States it is possible to use it to assist the bio-diesel bio-fuel marketplace and produce increased income for companies that produce ethanol from corn.

Modern corn vegetable oil equipment used for the ethanol sector are meant to remove non-edible corn vegetable oil out of the whole stillage process instantly ahead of manufacture of distillers grains solubles (DDGS). This kind of manufacturing for nonedible corn oil can be utilised directly 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 will provide Ethanol manufacturers a better return on a commodity they already produce.
