Fermentation of High Sucrose Feed such as Secondary Juice and BH-Molasses : Solutions

This paper reports some observations regarding the potential production levels of ethanol from various feedstocks available in a sugar factory. The methods for calculating the yields of ethanol from sugar factory sources are investigated and a preferred method is described which could be used as a standard for comparing ethanol yields. The potential feedstocks available to a sugar factory for the production of ethanol include raw sugar, Cmolasses (final molasses), Bmolasses, A molasses,evaporator supply juice (ESJ), secondary express juice and bagasse.
