Providing a new method for producing ethanol from molasses more efficiently

Description

Ethanol is the major product obtained from the molasses by means of fermentations using microorganisms. During this process, there is a release of carbon dioxide that will be utilized in the food preservation industries. 

The most critical factors that determine the economic feasibility of ethanol production from agricultural product feedstocks are ethanol yields per unit of feedstock and the cost of the feedstock. It is economically feasible to make ethanol from molasses as the cost of that feedstock is really low.

Commonly, molasses enter the fermentation part without any treatment in the companies that produce ethanol from molasses (sugar beet and sugarcane). We have developed a new method for producing ethanol more efficiently. In this method, molasses was treated and yield of ethanol increased to 3% with lowest cost.

No special equipment is needed

No pH adjustment is needed

No change in flow of molasses

Producing food grade materials 

Scale-up in 6 companies



We are ready to transfer this know-how to the relevant companies who want to increase their production yields.
