Fermentation


Efficient fermentation is central to consistent ethanol production. In a 100 KLPD ethanol plant, even small improvements in process stability translate into measurable gains in daily output and operational confidence. While equipment and process design may be optimized, long-term performance depends on maintaining a clean, balanced microbial environment that allows enzymes and yeast to perform at their full potential. With increased reliance on recycled water and high-throughput operations, proactive microbial management becomes essential for smooth, predictable fermentation.

 

Supporting Complete Sugar Conversion


In cane-based fermentation systems, enzymes release fermentable sugars and yeast converts them into alcohol. When microbial conditions are well managed, both operate without interference. Industry experience shows that structured microbial control can support 1–3% improvement in fermentation efficiency, simply by keeping sugars fully available for enzymatic and yeast-driven conversion.

 

Consistent Fermentation Cycles and Clean Water Reuse


A balanced fermentation environment supports healthy yeast activity and uniform fermentation kinetics, helping maintain consistent cycle times and smooth coordination across fermentation and distillation. Water reuse is now a standard practice, with 30–40% of process water typically reused through treated or recycled streams. Maintaining microbial cleanliness in these streams supports safe reuse and preserves overall fermentation hygiene.

 

Reliable Performance Across Operating Condition


Industrial fermentation routinely operates across varying pH and temperature ranges. Stable microbial control supports consistent enzyme activity and yeast efficiency, with temperature stability within ±1°C closely associated with predictable fermentation behavior and steady plant performance.

 

Enzytreat Advance: Supporting Enzyme-Driven Fermentation


Enzytreat Advance is designed to maintain a clean fermentation environment without interfering with enzymes or yeast. It delivers fast-acting, broad-spectrum control of unwanted aerobic and anaerobic bacteria while remaining effective across wide pH and temperature ranges. The liquid formulation is easy to dose, compatible with recycled water streams, and integrates seamlessly into existing processes.

 

Benefits That Strengthen Process Confidence


By maintaining microbial balance, Enzytreat Advance supports complete sugar conversion, stable yeast activity, clean water reuse, and predictable fermentation kinetics. Plants implementing structured microbial management typically observe smoother fermentation cycles, improved sugar utilization, and stable alcohol recovery.

 

From Process Control to Process Confidence


By supporting microbial balance at key process points, Enzytreat Advance helps transform fermentation management into a proactive, confidence-driven operation—ensuring enzymes and yeast work in harmony and fermentation performs consistently, day after day.
