Biofuel manufacturing involves harvesting crops
high in sugar (sugar cane, sugar beet and sweet sorghum or
starch), and then use yeast fermentation to produce ethyl
alcohol. Wood and its byproducts can also be converted
into biofuels such as woodgas, methanol or ethanol fuel.
Each of
these processes involves E-milling, a process derived from
conventional wet milling, for the recovery and purification of
starch. Then using groups of enzymes whose catalytic
function is to hydrolyze peptide bonds of proteins to
eliminate the need for sulfites and decrease the steeping
time.
Particle
size distribution of this milled product is an important
measurement. By reaching a desired mean and/or median
size, the raw material will maximize the time allotment of the
fermentation time.
Cilas
laser particle size analyzers are used for analyzing the
wet-milled product prior to fermentation to determine whether
or not additional milling is necessary to reach the desired
size. Improper particle size can greatly delay or
accelerate fermentation in the biofuels process causing costs
to increase.
