The diagram shows how ethanol fuel is produced from corn. It explains the process step by step, starting from corn and ending with the transportation of ethanol.
First of all, the corn is stored in a special place. After that, it is milled into smaller pieces. This makes the corn easier to process. Then the milled corn is cooked for four hours. During this stage, water is added to the corn. Cooking is an important step because it prepares the mixture for the next stage.
Next, the cooked mixture is fermented for 48 hours. This means it is left for two days so that ethanol can be formed. After fermentation, the mixture is separated into two different parts. One part is a solid by-product, which is removed. The other part is liquid and continues in the process.
After that, the liquid is purified for five hours. This step is done to make clean ethanol fuel. Finally, the ethanol is stored and then transported to different places where it can be used.
