Biofuel and Ethanol Production Solutions
Operational efficiency and reduced downtime: It‘s what you need for margin management, and it‘s what Ecolab can help you achieve. Our process also protects dried distillers grains, so you have a quality byproduct.
When you partner with Ecolab, we help you optimize product quality and get maximum value from every step of the ethanol extraction process. We offer a wide range of equipment cleaning and water management solutions specifically tailored for biofuel production, including utility and process chemistries, cleaners and final rinse formulations.
Reducing the Cost of Sugar and Ethanol Production: A Case Study
A Brazilian sugar and ethanol company had tried to reduce operating costs but was constantly paying for plant maintenance and modernization. By partnering with Nalco Water, they achieved a significant reduction in total operating costs and reduced their sulfuric acid consumption by an average of of 22% per year.
Boiler Protection for Ethanol and Biofuel Production
For 80+ years, Ecolab has worked in thousands of boiler plants supporting the production of safe, reliable and cost-effective steam. Our corrosion stress monitor responds to preboiler corrosion stress in real time, delivering the correct dose of oxygen scavenger or passivator. Our 3D TRASAR™ Boiler System then uses fluorescence technology to prevent scale formation inside your boiler. It also identifies potential causes of system variability and abnormal conditions, making it a powerful diagnostic tool.
Industrial Cooling Water Systems
Corrosion, scaling, fouling and biological contamination are threats to your industrial cooling tower and closed-loop efficiency. Nalco Water helps you answer those threats—and prioritize biofuel production efficiency—with cooling water treatment solutions including chemicals, equipment, automation and software. Our solutions are designed to safely optimize cooling system performance while conserving water and minimizing waste.
