D3MAX products

The D3MAX process enhances the efficiency of existing ethanol plants by utilizing a technologically advanced, lower-cost pretreatment system. Unlike traditional methods, the wet cake from the ethanol plant is pre-treated, allowing the D3MAX process to operate under milder temperature, pressure, and pH conditions. This innovation reduces both equipment and operational costs significantly. Furthermore, the process converts the cellulose and hemicellulose in the wet cake into monomeric sugars, which are then fermented into ethanol. Additionally, any residual starch in the wet cake is also converted and fermented, streamlining the overall ethanol production process. The resultant byproducts are treated similarly to traditional ethanol plants, creating a high-protein, low-fiber DDGS, which is ideal for monogastric animals and cattle feed. The process can be seamlessly integrated into around 190 dry mill ethanol plants across the US, making it an essential advancement for the ethanol industry.
