The diagram illustrates the step-by-step method of producing ethanol fuel from corn. There are various stages involved in this particular procedure and it takes around 3 days to complete once the corn is harvested.
The process begins with the gathering the corn and storing it for futher processing. The initial step for the extraction process is milling, which is then followed by the cooking of corn. Water is added to the product for cooking and this step lasts for about 4 hours. After this, the cooked mixture is left to ferment for about 48 hours.
Once the fermenting is complete, it is time for separation. Here the the liquid and solid by-products are separated. This extracted liquid is raw and unpurified ethanol, which is then purified for around 5 hours. This completes the production of the ethanol fuel. The purified ethanol fuel is now stored in the appropriate conditions, ready to be transported to the various destinations required. The described process ends with the transportation of this fuel.
