The diagram illustrates the process of producing ethanol fuel from corn.
Overall, ethanol fuel is manufactured through a series of stages, beginning with the storage of corn and ending with the transportation of the finished fuel. The process includes milling, cooking, fermentation, separation, and purification.
Initially, corn is stored before being milled into smaller particles. The ground corn is then cooked for four hours, during which water is added to the mixture. Following this stage, the cooked product is transferred to fermentation tanks, where it is fermented for 48 hours.
After fermentation, the mixture is separated into two parts: a solid by-product and a liquid. The liquid component continues to the next stage, where it undergoes purification for five hours in order to produce ethanol. Once the ethanol has been purified, it is stored and finally transported for use as fuel.
