Process and technology selection
Matching pre treatment, fermentation and distillation configuration to the confirmed feedstock.
It follows the feedstock. Molasses, grain and lignocellulosic residue need different pre treatment, fermentation and distillation configurations, and differ in yield, water use, effluent load and capital cost. Selecting the process before confirming the feedstock is the usual sequence and the wrong one.
What this includes
- Process route comparison for the confirmed feedstock
- Yield and conversion efficiency modelling
- Water consumption and sourcing assessment
- Effluent load and treatment requirement
- Energy demand and co generation options
- Capital and operating cost comparison
- What you receiveOutput
- Technology recommendation with yield, water and effluent implications
- When you need itTiming
- After feedstock is confirmed, before detailed engineering.
Choosing a process on headline yield. Water availability and effluent treatment frequently decide viability in Indian districts, and both are easy to underestimate.
