Arisdyne Systems Ethanol Production:
High Efficiency with Feedstock Dispersion

The Process

Ethanol production begins with starchy grains or cellulosic biomass. The feedstock is reduced to particulates by mechanical milling. The particles are then mixed with water. The resulting slurry is fed into the controlled flow cavitation™ zone. Powerful cavitation forces fracture the particles, resulting in high surface area dispersions.

The high surface area of the dispersion causes faster hydrolysis from starch to sugar. Ethanol is then formed through fermentation and separated off through distillation. Further processing includes water removal and the addition of denaturing agents.
