The diagram depicts the phases involved in the manufacturing process of ethanol fuel production from corn.
Overall, the illustrated consists of four main stages, including the initial preparation of raw corn, followed by processing steps, storing and final consumption. Specifically, production commenses with gathering unprocessed corn and culminates in the delivery of the completed product to gas station.
At the outset of production, corn after being harvested will be stored in the warehouse to prepare for create-ethanol process. First, the milling machine is used to turn the corn into flour, which is blended with water and cooked during four hours.
After being cooked, it is fermented at a timepan of 48 hours using another machine. Two days later, this mixture is filtered into both solid by-product and liquid. While the solid is removed, the liquid is purified in 5 hours to produce ethanol. Finally, the final product is stored in trucks and ready to be shipped to gas station.
