Event Detail Information
Description
This course is designed for those wanting a fundamental understanding of the technology and science associated with production of ethanol from cereal grains and biomass. The presenters will cover feedstock development, unit operations, process design and simulation, enzymatic technologies, coproducts, fractionation and other new technologies. The course is designed for a broad audience to serve representatives from dry grind ethanol, cellulosic ethanol and allied industries.
Purpose
To provide fundamental understanding of conventional and new ethanol production methods for representatives of the ethanol and allied industries. The course is ideal for plant personnel, technology providers, equipment vendors, enzyme companies, seed companies and trade organizations allied with the ethanol industry.
