What Ethanol Fuel is ????Ethanol fuel is a biofuel alternative to gasoline. It can becombined with gasoline in any concentration up to pure ethanol .Anhydrous ethanol, that is, ethanol with at most 1% water, can be

blended with gasoline in varying quantities to reduce consumptionof petroleum fuels and in attempts to reduce air pollution.

Corn Ethanol :-Corn Ethanol is ethanol produced from corn as a biomassthrough industrial fermentation, chemical processing anddistillation. Corn ethanol may very well become a viableand energy efficient commodity. The advent and promotionof cheaper non-petroleum fertilizers and herbicides.

Increased corn acreage and conservation from newtechniques of farming. Farming equipment and machinery ,Renewable sources of electricity for power and transport.The discovery of new and better enzymes for chemicalprocessing. And new more efficient and coast effectiveproduction processes and manufacturing methods beingdeveloped with higher yields. The creation of corn ethanolwould very well become a much more energy efficient and

cost effective process and leave a greatly reducedenvironmental footprints.

Processing

How much ethanol can we get from one bushel of corn?

The industry average is slightly more than 2.5 gallons per bushel in additionto the high protein livestock feeds.

What is the difference between a wet and a dry mill ethanol plant?

The wet mill process soaks the corn kernels until the components are able tobe separated mechanically. The germ is removed for corn oil, the starch isremoved for industrial or food uses or converting into sweeten- ers, ethanol,degradable plastics, proteins, pharmaceuticals or a variety of high valueconsumer products. The remaining 60% protein gluten meal and 21%

protein gluten feeds are sold on the protein market.

The dry mill process grinds the corn to a flour and the entire product goesthrough the fermentation procedure where the starch protein is converted toethanol. After the ethanol is distilled off, the remainder is dried and sold as a30% protein product called Dried Distillers Grains with solubles (DDGs).The products of a wet mill have greater variety and therefore a higher valuethan those form a dry mill, but the cost to build and operate a wet mill plantare higher. If the objective of building a corn processing plant is to produceethanol, it can be done at a lower cost with a dry mill plant

56. Can ethanol be made from off-grade or damaged corn?

Yes. The ethanol yield from a bushel of corn is not significantly reducedeven though the corn may be damaged. The use of badly damaged corn willlower the value of the distiller's grains, and will affect the price that is paidfor the damaged corn by the ethanol processor

59. Can ethanol be made just from corn?

No, ethanol can be made from products other than corn. Corn is thepredominant feed stock today because of chronic corn surpluses, low pricesand wide availability. Other grains, plus sugar beets, potato wastes andcheese whey are currently being used where they are available andcompetitively priced. It is also possible to convert cellulose materials toethanol. Cellulo- sic materials include grasses, trees, crop residues,wastepaper and even municipal solid waste! Cellulose to ethanol is currentlytoo expensive to compete with corn as a feed stock but new technologiesmight make it a commercial reality within the next decade. Newly developedenzymes are being researched that will convert cellulose to sugars which canthen be fermented into ethanol This would mean not only having a greatersupply of clean burning, renewable ethanol but would also reduce the

volume of waste entering our landfills.

60. What is left of the corn kernel after the ethanol is removed?

Only the starch is removed for ethanol, so all the protein, vitamins, minerals,and fiber, and some of the energy remain. This is a very digestible human orlivestock food.

61. How much does the corn increase in value after processing into

ethanol and DDGs?

When one processes corn to ethanol, the initial value of the corn more thandoubles. It may be said that instead of having a $2.00 bushel of corn, a drymill ethanol plant will produce $1 .00 worth of feed and $3.00 wor

Cost of land = Rs.200,000 / acre (in Tando-Allahyar)

Acres required for growing maize = 9,900

Acres required for production plant = 1,00

Cost on importing the Machinery = Rs. 3000Billion (cost of infrastructure included )

The remaining Rs.220 Billion is the cost of

hiring labor, maintaining fields and for theinitial production.

The total production capacity of themachinery = 400 million gallons per annum

The processing cost for each gallon =Rs.150

The selling price per gallon = Rs.900 (onother hand petrol price is about Rs.2000 pergallon)

Profit per gallon = Rs.750

Expected profit per year = Rs.28000 BillionCapital would be recovered in a time of 3years or less .
