Ethanol plants are awsome!
Friday I got to go visit an Ethanol Plant. It was a 3hr drive there, but it was worth it. We were guided throught the plant and shown how ethanol is made. Here are some pictures I took.
The whole Plant.
The Carbon Monoxide Plant.
They take the Carbon Monoxide that comes from the fermentation process and sell it to beverage companies.
Me; in my hard hat and safety goggles. I needed them, I ran into a door.
The bucket they use to move corn and brewers grain.
It is huge.
This is the grate that corn is dumped onto, below it are large augers that send the corn to be processed.
The lab where they test the ethanol.
The computer lab where they keep an eye on all the machinery, on the temperature and pressure of the pipes and silos.
Inside the plant. Green pipes are water and yellow are air.(I think)
