ETHANOL PLANT

What is ethanol, how it is prepared ?

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, or simply alcohol, is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3CH2OH, It's a volatile, flammable, colorless liquid with a characteristic wine-like odor and pungent taste.

Ethanol is the active ingredient in alcoholic drinks and is also used as a solvent, in the synthesis of other organic chemicals, and as an additive to automotive gasoline.

Uses of ethanol:

Ethanol acts as a solvent in cosmetics, paints, and cleansing solutions, and a common ingredient in lotions and serves as a preservative.

In Many Countries, ethanol is used as an engine fuel.
Gasohol (E10): A blend of ethanol and gasoline.
E85: An 85% ethanol blend for flexible-fuel vehicles.
Ethanol is used for sterilization and disinfection.
It's an ingredient in cough syrup, tonics, and tincture of iodine.
Ethanol can serve as an antidote for methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning.
Ethanol is the intoxicating component in beer, wine, and spirits.

Ethanol Production Process

In India, ethanol is primarily produced from sugarcane molasses through a fermentation process. However government has started promoting grain based ethanol plants in India

Step 1. Feedstock Selection: Sugarcane Molasses: Sugarcane molasses serves as the primary source of ethanol in India. It is a by-product of the sugar industry. Other Starch Sources: Additionally, ethanol production may utilize starches from potatoes, corn, wheat, and other plants. However, these starches must first be broken down into simple sugars.

Step 2. Fermentation Process: Starch to Sugar: If starch-containing feedstock (such as maize or wheat) is used, it must undergo a process to convert starch into sugars. An enzyme called **diastase**, produced by germinating barley, plays a crucial role in this transformation.

Step 3. Distillation: Once the feedstock provides simple sugars, fermentation occurs. Yeast microorganisms consume these sugars, producing ethanol as a result. Which is then separated through Distillation

Step 4. Ethanol Blending: Fuel Ethanol: Ethanol is blended with gasoline to create different fuel blends. Ethanol can be mixed with petrol at any percentage up to 100% (E100).
