A patent application (Publication Number: US20230399665A1) discloses a method for the combined operation of a bioethanol production unit and a biogas unit. The method involves mashing corn meal with thin stillage and whole stillage, recycling glycerin, and feeding the mash to a cooking stage, fermentation, and distillation steps. The whole stillage is recycled to the mashing step and the biogas unit, with specific parameters such as temperature, particle size, pH adjustment, and nitrogen content carefully controlled.
Furthermore, the method includes specific requirements such as the addition of TS per tonne of corn meal, recycling of TS to the mashing step, and the proportion of outflow from the biogas unit per tonne of corn meal. The process aims to optimize ethanol production while minimizing water usage and glycerin production. Additionally, the method allows for the use of lignocellulose-rich biomasses in the biogas unit, expanding the range of substrates that can be utilized in the process. Overall, the patent application outlines a comprehensive and efficient method for the simultaneous production of bioethanol and biogas, with a focus on sustainability and resource efficiency.
