Read MoreMost ethanol in the United States is produced from starch-based crops by dry- or wet-mill processing. Nearly 90% of ethanol plants are dry mills due to lower capital costs. Dry-milling is a process that grinds corn into flour and ferments it into ethanol with co-products of distillers grains and carbon dioxide.

Read MoreEnergy is the second largest cost of production for dry mill ethanol plants, surpassed only by the cost of the corn itself. Dry mill plants use significant amounts of steam for mash cooking, distillation and evaporation. Steam or natural gas is also used for drying by-product solids (dried distilled grains solids or DDGS).
Read MoreDry milling and wet milling of cereal grains are used to produce ethanol and to partition the grains into an array of feed components (Figure 2).Wet milling is a more complex process and requires high-quality grains to produce high-value products suitable for human use. Some of the co-products, such as maize gluten meal, may be marketed in higher value …
Read MoreBased on the model developed by Hofstrand (Ethanol Profitability), revenue per gallon of ethanol was estimated for a typical dry mill Iowa corn ethanol plant. The original model included only the revenue from ethanol and DDGS, which assumes 2.8 gallons per bushel of corn and 17 pounds of DDGS per bushel of corn.
Read MoreDry mill ethanol plants are evolving and the processes are being revised with each new plant and retrofit. For this report, the process shown in Figure 1 is considered the base plant. The benchmarking section describes the electricity and natural gas use for each of these processes and for the plant as a whole. The base plant is receiving ...
Read MoreA dry mill ethanol plant produces 2.8 gallons of ethanol and 17 pounds of valuable feed co-products called distillers grains from just one bushel of corn. According to the University of Illinois at Chicago, on a per gallon basis, ethanol plants today require 28% less thermal energy and 32% less electricity than a decade ago.
Read Morethe dry milling process. Dry mill ethanol plants produce 75% of the nation's ethanol.2 After the mash has cooled, it is transferred to fermenters and yeast is added to ferment the sugars, creating ethanol and carbon dioxide. There are two types of fermentation that a plant will utilize, continuous or
