This laboratory-scale ethanol production plant is specifically designed for research and development into potato-based fuel. It provides a controlled environment to study the entire process, from potato feedstock preparation and starch hydrolysis to fermentation and distillation, yielding ethanol. Researchers can optimize enzyme dosages, yeast strains, temperature, and pH levels to maximize ethanol output and efficiency. The plant facilitates the exploration of various potato varieties, pre-treatment methods, and co-product recovery, aiming to develop sustainable and economically viable processes for converting agricultural waste or surplus potatoes into biofuel. Its small scale allows for rapid experimentation and data collection without the significant resource commitment of a full-scale industrial plant.
