摘要： A dry grind ethanol production process and system with front end milling method is provided for improving alcohol and/or by-product yields, such as oil and/or protein yields. In one example, the process includes grinding corn kernels into particles then mixing the corn particles with a liquid to produce a slurry including oil, protein, starch, fiber, germ, and grit. Thereafter, the slurry is subjected to a front end milling method, which includes separating the slurry into a solids portion, including fiber, grit, and germ, and a liquid portion, including oil, protein, and starch, then milling the separated solids portion to reduce the size of the germ and grit and release bound starch, oil, and protein from the solids portion. The starch is converted to sugar, and alcohol is produced therefrom then recovered. Also, the fiber can be separated and recovered. Oil and protein may be separated and recovered as well.

摘要： A disc mill includes an inlet configured to provide solid material for grinding to the grind plates in a smooth and constant manner. A solid ring is added around an outer circumference of the grind plates to control the grinded solid discharge rate. In some embodiments, the grind plates are configured with constant solid path way open area from row to row. The grind surface and solid pass way open area are maximized by increasing the relative tooth height compared to the tooth width. The teeth can be positioned according to a block channel configurations so as to force the solid material to pass along the grind surface of each row. A grind plate design program is used to enable conjunction of the design parameters with application variation, thereby enabling the optimum grind plate design to meeting various applications needed.

摘要： Methods of and device for separating germs from grains used for alcohol production are provided. The principle of density difference is able to be used to separate germs from a slurry. By adjusting the density and/or viscosity of the slurry, higher germ recovering rate is attended. The method of adjusting the density and/or viscosity includes recycling a cook-water to reduce the viscosity of the slurry before fermentation and pre-concentrating a whole stillage at an evaporator and adding a syrup to the whole stillage after fermentation. An air flotation unit is able to be used to increase oil and germ recovery rate.

摘要： The present invention is directed to improvements in the steeping process of corn wet milling and a steeping system therefore. The process for steeping corn includes subjecting corn situated in a battery of no less than four steeping tanks to a countercurrent flow of steep water. The first steeping tank defines a new corn receiving tank and the last steeping tank defines a discharge tank. The countercurrent flow of steep water includes sulfur dioxide and flows in a direction from the discharge tank to the new corn receiving tank. The sulfur dioxide concentration in the steep water of the first steeping tank is greater than the sulfur dioxide concentrations in a plurality of the remainder of the steeping tanks, which maintain sulfur dioxide levels that are substantially equivalent.

摘要： A method of and a system for digesting grain based protein and fiber materials using enzymes. The grain based protein and fiber materials can be found in whole stillage in an alcohol production. The method and system produces more digestible proteins, more soluble proteins, soluble protein fractions, peptides and amino acids for ruminant and monogastric species compared to the convention methods and systems. In some embodiments, digested fibers are used as absorber and protectant for probiotic culture absorbed in the enriched syrup. The digested fibers and the probiotic culture form a stable pellet. In some embodiments, the digested fibers and the probiotic culture is added to all types of animal feed forming an enriched lactic acid feed and live probiotic culture feed supplement for the feed markets. The feed markets includes aquaculture, poultry, swine, cattle, companion animals, and livestock animals.
