TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - BIOTECHNOLOGY - Preferred Method: The wet grind food fractionation continuous process involves (a) providing corn kernels having moisture content of 10-30% by selecting (i) pericorp comprising of coarse fiber; (ii) an endosperm comprising of soft starch, hard starch, protein and fine fiber, and (iii) a germ, (b) steeping the kernels in recycled deaerated water counter current food grade processes with or without sulfur dioxide utilizing continuous steeping process with anaerobic conditions for control of fermentation contamination, contaminant control and conditions for water uptake for corn bran membrane conditions to reduce steeping time, (c) continuously steeping overflow fraction for fine bio fermentation feedstock catalyst or concentrated for marketing, the internal washing of the steeped corn provides the feedstock for the fractionation of the germ, (d) course grinding steeped corn with 43-45% moisture to free the germ from the kernel and diluting to 16-18% with recycled downstream water and fractionating from the heavier mash with a hydrocyclone process, where the germ overflow is conditioned and refined to crude, degummed or refined food grade oils and quality corn oil meal, the underflow is fine ground and used for feedstock for production of bio chemicals and products or quality feedstocks for fermentation products or fractionated for food grade starch and other starch products, (e) balancing the underflow fractionated as needed for first strike fractionation of washed starch for food and treated starch, washed starch for liquefaction to sugar food products, washed gluten for food and process products and washed fiber for dietary food product and other processed products, and (f) subjecting bi-products of the fractionation processes, recycling washed water to the bio grind ethanol process along with product not used for fractionation. The dry grind process involves (a) providing corn kernels having a moisture content of 15-18% for coarse grinding for corn milling feedstock to refine and fractionate corn flour, corn grits, and other corn meal food products, and (b) adding all processed by-products along with any adjuncts available to blend to 40-42% moisture for the feedstock to the bio grind ethanol process. The bio grind ethanol process involves (a) providing soaked course ground corn and or starch containing grain starch product and fractionate balance from the food grade wet grind step and liquid reprocess sugars at depressed prices or competitive prices and concentrate, (b) preheating 40-42 DS feedstock and fine grind and liquefy, (c) fractionating the fiber and protein for animal feed blending with soluble distillers and washed fiber balance for cellulosic ethanol feedstock, and (d) blending sugars with steep water and yeast for fermentation feedstock. The cellulose grind process for refining corn fiber, corn stover and/or adjunct plant materials involves (a) providing a plant material comprising (i) starch, (ii) sugar, (iii) fiber comprising cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and pectin, (b) heating the fiber slurry under mild alkaline conditions to hydrolyze substantially all of the hemicellulose and pectin into soluble pentose and hexose sugars and treating with polygalacturonase in need, (c) separating the insoluble cellulose and lignin from the pentose and dextrose sugars fermenting for ethanol with dextrose and pentose yeasts, (d) fractionating the ethanol and residual sugars with pervaporation filtration and returning for concentration, distillation, dehydration and fuel blending in the ethanol bio grind process, (e) heating the slurry of cellulose and lignin under severe alkaline conditions to hydrolyze substantially all of the lignin into soluble hydrolysate for fractionation for boiler feed stocks and enzyme treating, and (f) treating the resulting insoluble cellulose with an cellulase enzyme to convert to secondary glucose solution and adding the glucose to the secondary yeast fermenter. The fermentation and ethanol refining for both starch and cellulose ethanol processes combined for finishing involves (a) one stage full mash pentose fermenter with special enzymes and yeast to ferment xylose, arrabinose and other maltose and higher sugars available in the recycle catalyst and other feedstock, where the ethanol is partially concentrated with the pervaporation membrane filter system, the permeate filtrate is concentrated in the final continuous cascade anaerobic process, and the concentrate syrup solids is evaporated for production of animal feed with the ethanol in the condensate reclaimed in the pervaporation membrane filter system, (b) second one stage full mash fermenter with special enzymes and yeast will be used to ferment the product of high temperature cellulose hydrolysis, where the ethanol is partially concentrated with the pervaporation membrane filter system, the permeate filtrate is concentrated in the final continuous anaerobic process, and the concentrate syrup solids is evaporated for production of animal feed with the ethanol in the condensate reclaimed in the pervaporation membrane filter system, and (c) final continuous cascade anaerobic fermenter process with partial fine bubble mixing and blanketing with carbon dioxide used to ferment and concentrate fermenter ethanol for refining fuel ethanol. The animal feed is refined by blending bio grind pre-fermentation fractionated protein and fiber from post cellulose grind and post distillation insoluble product involves (a) fractionating product available from pre-fermentation for corn gluten meal, corn gluten feed with balance feedstock for the cellulose grind, (b) blendeding balance product from fractionation of ethanol from cellulose ethanol fermentation with the Bio Grind product with partially hydrolyzed cellulose returned to the cellulose grind, (c) returning soluble solids from the steam distillation to pre-fermentation blending, (d) recycling waters containing soluble solids back to the dry grind for washing, wet scrubbing environmental discharges, or dilution, and (e) controlling solids waste discharges. The wash water used for wet grind food refining is transferred counter current for processing with no waste. The steeping process utilizes 15-30% moisture corn for feedstock and requires no added sulfur dioxide, where the steep operates anaerobically with no steeping fermentation loss and is designed for optimum conditions for kernel bran membrane flux to optimize steeping rates and soluble fractionation yields. The food grade germ is fractionated to obtain 48-50% oil. The mash after germ fractionation is partially ground to leave corn grits in lieu of fine fiber which is transferred to the bio grind process for blending and liquefaction before fractionating to produce fiber of less than 0.2% starch to feed the cellulose system, where the first cut is only is used for low cost fractionation and refining of food products. The distressed corn and other grains and grain products are used to supplement corn for ethanol liquefaction for reduced cost, and solids control. The pervaporation process invention significantly reduces the size of the distillation and evaporation steps due to reduced volume and steam for distillation. EXAMPLE - No suitable example given.
