ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Pretreatment; (2) Hydrolysis and Fermentation; and (3) Purification.</p><p>Pretreatment. Shelled corn is cleaned and soaked in a dilute solution of sulfur dioxide. The solid matter slurry is separated from corn germ through a two-step milling and separation setup. The degerminated slurry is subjected to a fine grinding and screening to separate all starch and gluten from the fiber content. The two compounds are recovered. Finally, starch is washed with process water and sent to next section. In this treatment, corn geam and corn gluten are obtained as by-products.</p><p>Hydrolysis and Fermentation. Washed starch is fed to a two-step hydrolysis. First, the starch molecules are randomly broken down by the alpha-amylases and water, producing polysaccharides. Then, the glucoamylase enzyme promotes the hydrolysis of the polysaccharides into glucose molecules. The culture is propagated and mixed with corn steep liquor and saccharified liquor. The fermentation media is continuously fed to the fermentor to account for the consumption of the glucose by the fermenting bacteria. The main fermentation is carried out in a fed-batch mode and under anaerobic conditions in a jacketed fermentor. Acetone, Butanol and ethanol (ABE solvents) are constantly removed from the fermentation medium via a gas stripping technique employed in-situ. </p><p>Purification. The stream collected via gas stripping is separated into acetone, ethanol, and n-butanol products by another gas stripping, an extraction column and a series of distillation columns. The off-gas from stripping is diverged to a PSA unit for the recovery of hydrogen as a by-product. The aqueous phase from extraction is directed to wastewater treatment. The purge from PSA unit is partly recycled to the fermentor to strip ABE solvents.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents the economics of bio-based Butanol production from corn in the United States. The process under analysis is a conventional Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. Initially, corn undergoes wet milling to separate starch, which is hydrolyzed in two steps. Glucose is fermented to produce butanol, acetone and ethanol.
