PDX ERS Performance Results
Plant operating parameters maintained
All plant operation parameters such as water balance, energy balance, and emissions are maintained.
Yield improvement
Corn to ethanol yield improved (>5%)
Reduced enzyme usage
Alfa-amylase dose reduced (<25%)
Solid loading increase
The ratio of corn to liquid can be increased without change to viscosity due to enhanced enzyme accessibility. The output of the plant can also be increased if downstream capacity is available, up to 25%
