The picture details the linear process of producing ethanol from corn.
Overall, the process encompasses eight steps, starting with corn harvesting and culminating in the storage and transportation of ethanol. Notably, the majority of steps are carried out manually with the assistance of some traditional tools.
The process begins with the storage of yielded maize being placed in a designated area before entering the processing stage. Once milled by a machine, corn is progressively cooked with water, this step lasts for 4 hours before proceeding to the next.
Having undergone the cooking step, the mixture is separated into liquid and solid by-products, preparing for the transformation into ethanol . This substance then experiences the purification step to extract ethanol in a specific area, taking 5 hours of processing. Thereafter, trucks will facilitate the storage of the desired products and transport them to gas stations to accommodate the demands of daily commute.
