The picture illustrates the process of production of alcohol fuel particularly ethanol from maize.
Overall, it is a lengthy process constituting of around nine steps pricipally focussed on the notion of fermentation.
Firstly, the procedure prime resource is corn that is brought in from the fields. Secondly, the corn is sorted and stored in for further processing. Thirdly, the stored corn undergoes the process of milling wherein it is grinded into finer particles. From here on, water is added to this mixture and cooked on low flame for an extended period of around four hours. Subsequently, after cooking the mixture and causing a change in it chemically this prepared mixture is now fermented 48 hours. The process of fermentation causes chemical action leads to formation of an acidic substance known as ethanol, a type of alcohol. Continuing further, the products are in the form of liquid and solid therefore, the liquid is separated giving a solid by-product. This liquid ethanol is still in a crude form requiring processing therefore, the ethanol is purified for nearly 5 hours. Next, it is stored in proper containers such bottles and at the end it is transported to the areas demanding it/ who have placed an order.
