Converting a corn ethanol plant to produce biobutanol requires changes to the fermentation step (mainly a new microorganism) and to alcohol recovery from the fermentation. Butamax’s technology package will include the installation of novel corn oil separation technology. Source: Butamax. Click to enlarge.
