 What Ethanol Fuel is ????
Ethanol fuel is a biofuel alternative to gasoline. It can be
combined 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 consumption
of petroleum fuels and in attempts to reduce air pollution.

Corn Ethanol :-
Corn Ethanol is ethanol produced from corn as a biomass
through industrial fermentation, chemical processing and
distillation. Corn ethanol may very well become a viable
and energy efficient commodity. The advent and promotion
of cheaper non-petroleum fertilizers and herbicides.
Increased corn acreage and conservation from new
techniques of farming. Farming equipment and machinery ,
Renewable sources of electricity for power and transport.
The discovery of new and better enzymes for chemical
processing. And new more efficient and coast effective
production processes and manufacturing methods being
developed with higher yields. The creation of corn ethanol
would very well become a much more energy efficient and
cost effective process and leave a greatly reduced
environmental 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 addition
to 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 to
be separated mechanically. The germ is removed for corn oil, the starch is
removed for industrial or food uses or converting into sweeten- ers, ethanol,
degradable plastics, proteins, pharmaceuticals or a variety of high value
consumer 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 goes
through the fermentation procedure where the starch protein is converted to
ethanol. After the ethanol is distilled off, the remainder is dried and sold as a
30% protein product called Dried Distillers Grains with solubles (DDGs).
The products of a wet mill have greater variety and therefore a higher value
than those form a dry mill, but the cost to build and operate a wet mill plant
are higher. If the objective of building a corn processing plant is to produce
ethanol, 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 reduced
even though the corn may be damaged. The use of badly damaged corn will
lower the value of the distiller's grains, and will affect the price that is paid
for 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 the
predominant feed stock today because of chronic corn surpluses, low prices
and wide availability. Other grains, plus sugar beets, potato wastes and
cheese whey are currently being used where they are available and
competitively priced. It is also possible to convert cellulose materials to
ethanol. Cellulo- sic materials include grasses, trees, crop residues,
wastepaper and even municipal solid waste! Cellulose to ethanol is currently
too expensive to compete with corn as a feed stock but new technologies
might make it a commercial reality within the next decade. Newly developed
enzymes are being researched that will convert cellulose to sugars which can
then be fermented into ethanol This would mean not only having a greater
supply 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 or
livestock 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 than
doubles. It may be said that instead of having a $2.00 bushel of corn, a dry
mill ethanol plant will produce $1 .00 worth of feed and $3.00 wor
 Feasibility
• As Pakistan is an agricultural country ,this
production would suit a place such as
Pakistan
 • 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. 3000
Billion (cost of infrastructure included )
• The remaining Rs.220 Billion is the cost of

hiring labor, maintaining fields and for the

initial production.
• The total production capacity of the
machinery = 400 million gallons per annum
• The processing cost for each gallon =
Rs.150
• The selling price per gallon = Rs.900 (on
other hand petrol price is about Rs.2000 per
gallon)
Profit per gallon = Rs.750
Expected profit per year = Rs.28000 Billion
Capital would be recovered in a time of 3
years or less .
