Feasibility Study Report for the City of Superior Ethanol Refinery: A Refinery Utilizing Grain Dust and Whole Grain to Produce Fuel Grade Ethyl Alcohol

摘要

The City of Superior Power Alcohol Refinery Study performed by Ultrasystems examines the entire range of elements that would contribute to the success of the proposed Project. The engineering design and cost characteristics of the plant itself were determined for the three representative plant outputs of 1.53 million, and 15.3 million gallons per year. The availability and pricing of the feedstock for the plant was analyzed, as was market demand for the ethanol product and animal feed co-product from the plant. The environmental considerations associated with such a facility, and the permit requirements for the Project have been examined. And finally, the profitability of the Project at the three representative outputs, has been projected. The results of these analyses is contained in this report.
