About this document
Ethanol Production Process Overview by Rabwa Razak is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Ethanol is produced through the fermentation of sugars or starches from crops by yeast or bacteria under controlled temperature, pH, agitation, and aeration conditions. The four main steps are: 1) Milling and liquefaction of starches to sugars, 2) Fermentation of sugars to ethanol by yeast, 3) Distillation to separate ethanol from water, 4) Dehydration to achieve anhydrous ethanol. Common feedstocks include grains, molasses, and sugarcane.
