Starch-Sugar-BioMass Ethanol

Analysis of:BP Acquires Verenium's Cellulosic Biofuels Business | www.downstreamtoday.com

Verenium is positioned well to retrofit the 40% of Dry Grind ethanol corn plants that are facing bankruptcy. With the use of LAI-PRO Bio Grind Fractionation technology for food fractionation before converting the starch to sugar and ethanol and removing the fibre for lignocellulosic ethanol by adding other biomass and recycling enzymes, water, heat and nitrogen catalyst from the sugar fermentation.

Analysis of:Alternative energy ideas power down | www.delawareonline.com

1. The ethanol industry targetted producing ethanol with desregard for the 30% of the corn kernel which is not starch. 2. Ethanol pricing is dependent on the pricing of gasoline. Ethanol usage is dependent on Gasoline refiniers to blend and market. 3. The increase in price of corn, was not reflected in the proce of ethanol or ethanol blends. The 30% of the kernel, instead of added revenue became a drag on nonexistent profits. Fractionation of the 30 %, even though the technology was available, was not considered and the net result to retrofit existing plants requires new capital and two or more years to get germ or protein on the market.

Alternate Technology is Available to Economically Fractionate the Food before Ethanol.

Analysis of:Corn Ethanol Loses More Support | article.wn.com

1. Bio Grind Fractionation VS typical Wet Grind and Dry Grind processes provides Food Grade co-products high in protein, oil and dietary fibre concentrated for ecomical distribution for domestic and export destinations. Balance can be used for both ruminants and non ruminants. 2. Starch and lignocellulosic biomass is used for ethanol yields that far exceeds other current commerically proven processes. 3. Chemicals, catalysts, and heat is recycled for economical operations. Net-Corn-Costs are reduced 30% due to demand and value of the co-products. 4. Simultaneous production of ethanol from lignocellulosic sources can be added at minimal costs.
