Inside an Ethanol Plant

Join us as we take a walk through a modern-day ethanol plant and see how a kernel of grain is transformed into fuel ethanol. Don’t forget your hard hat and ear plugs! With Chris Wilson, General Manager, Mid-Missouri Energy. Second of six episodes of RFA's Heartland Virtual Tour from September 18, 2020.

Wow! That facility looks amazing. And the general manager really knows his plant exceptionally well. I wished I could work for them. Great job.

Very informative. 6/14/21 I start my training at WNY Energy in Medina NY as a plant operator. I plan to watch this a few more times to have a better grasp prior to my start. Thanks for sharing.

[@drkhan1969]

Wonderful technology, I appreciate the amazing contribution towards green and renewable energy

I work in an ethanol plant in IA. We don’t have a waste heat or a co2 system. Wish we did. Also we get our DDGs from a ring dryer instead of a drum dryer. I think that thing is going to be the death of me. But we are supposed to be updating to a drum dryer here soon to improve proteins. Great video! Very informative.

[@ocelotalot]

I Hope your plant does upgrade to the drum dryers, I havnt had the pleasure of experiencing a ring dryer but from what I have heard I don't want to! Fellow IA ethanol Producer!

[@vcoona]

very nicely done! thanks for sharing.👌

You did a good job amazing plant

Greetings with love from Lagos Nigeria ❤

[@cesarsduran]

Are there any multi vegetable processing plants that are generating similar production

[@akhileshhurmade5892]

Very informative can you send me the machinery list with capacity

[@shahriarfardin777]

I am from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 we need such plants

[@josephmcdonald777]

Audio was rough.

[@sureshramesh503]

What is the capacity per day

[@jatindersingh1699]

how much cost of the plant

[@josevicente8835]

Para ficar melhor deveria ser eliminado o ruído do ambiente (exceto quando ele estivesse falando); não ficou inteligível; assisti apenas para ver a planta e aproveitar as legendas.

[@utkuozen3253]

Please invest to Microphone. Very hard to hear what you saying

[@eds3969]

Talk near the microphone so people can hear you!!!

[@jed-henrywitkowski6470]

I know that there is a difference between grain intended for livestock consumption, and that intended for human consumption.
with that said, is there a difference between grain intended for the manufacture of ethanol and that for human or animal consumption?

[@TJ-im5kp]

Their are two primary categories for corn, field corn is intended for livestock, ethanol, and non-direct human consumption mostly. Sweet corn is the corn that is intended for direct human consumption.

sound is not good use a microphone next time bz of the surroundings machine sound

[@lesliesaunders8772]

hw much would an ethanol plant cost to construct and commission. I am looking into cassava ethanol any pointers?
thanks

[@michaeljennings5170]

Does the thermal oxidiser generate steam for the process?

[@shawnrusselld]

Yes

[@dareishola]

what is the name of the company that constructed this plant ? it is well laid out

[@ocelotalot]

It looks like an ICM layout atleast originally but I may be wrong

[@mattschilstra]

@@ocelotalot definitely an ICM plant.

[@sahanafoundation7357]

can't hear anything , can you buy a nice Microphone

[@jeffreygorden9603]

You’ve probably never been in such a place, but a new microphone won’t help it’s just so loud

[@p9raceway759]

@@jeffreygorden9603was speaker wearing a mike ? Did they attempt to wash out background noise ?

[@johnstream9172]

how this thermodynamic madness is net positive .lol even with total energy recovery ..

[@jimpuskar9291]

Safety glasses in the lab?
