ECONOMIC AND TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF ETHANOL DRY …
If ethanol is the target product, then it can be produced at a lower cost and more efficiently in a dry mill plant than in a wet mill plant, under current economic conditions. Of the more than 70 US ethanol plants currently in production, only a few are of the wet mill variety. A descriptive engineering spreadsheet model (DM model) was ...

Production of Ethanol from Corn and Sugarcane
Some wet mills also produce vitamins, enzymes, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, films, solvents, pigments, polyols, or fibers. Wet-milled corn fiber can also be converted to ethanol. As with corn, ethanol is produced from cane in two primary types of facilities, integrated sugar/ethanol production facilities and autonomous distilleries.

Wet Mill Ethanol Process In wet milling, the grain is first separated into its basic components through soaking. After steeping, the slurry is processed through grinders to separate the corn germ. The remain-ing fiber, gluten and starch components are further segregated. The gluten component (protein) is filtered and dried to produce animal feed.
