Ethanol Plants for Sale

Used 10 MM gallons/year (approximately 30,000 tons per year) Ethanol Plant commissioned in 1996, and upscaled around 2005 - 2006. Many equipment items have been replaced with new ones in the recent years. The new equipment is designed according to industrial standards for continuous operation (24 hours/day, 7 days/week). The plant includes all process areas: Grain Receiving and Storage, Corn Cleaning and Milling, Liquefaction and Cooking, Yeast Propagation and Fermentation, Distillation, Dehydration, Stillage Evaporation, Stillage Separation, WDG Storage and Shipping, Fuel Ethanol Storage and Loading, CIP System, and Chemical Storage. The plant yield is an average of 0.5 lb of anhydrous ethanol and 0.49 lb of WDG (wet cake) per lb of fermentable starch. Instrumentation is mainly Endress Hauser. Operation system is Siemens PCS7 installed in 2015.

Used 76.5 MM Gallons/Year Ethanol Dehydration Plant built in 2005. It has a daily capacity of 700,000 liters per day, 252 million liters (67.5m Gal) per year. Its main purpose is to dehydrate alcohol from 95° GL to 99.5°-99.9° GL. Operations stopped, in 2009, due to shortage of raw material.

Used ethanol recovery plant designed by Delta-T for sale immediately available. The plant, including 2 lines, each 1.5 MM GPY, is designed to recover ethanol from waste liquids containing alcohol such as spilled or out-of-date beer, residual stream from ethanol plants, etc. The process is distillation and dehydration only. Alcohol waste stream is heated and distillated in a stripper column to increase the ethanol content. The ethanol flow is further concentrated through a second step of distillation in a rectifier column. Remaining water is removed in molecular sieve dehydration unit by forcing the ethanol-rich vapor through a tankful of beads. Pores in beads trap water molecules while larger ethanol molecules flow around the beads. To get the water molecules out of the beads so they can be used again, a vacuum is applied while a small amount of ethanol flows through the tank, basically reversing the earlier process. The mixture is then removed and reprocessed. After cooling, 200 proof liquid ethanol is pumped to a storage tank.

Unused Equipment from a Cancelled Project for a 22.45 MGPY (65,000 TPY) Ethanol Plant. Plant was designed by Praj India to use sugar cane as a raw material. All major equipment available from Distillation, Evaporation and Molecular Sieve Dehydration (MSDH) Section. Equipment also available from Fermentation, Auxiliaries and CIP System Sections. Equipment built 2008 but never used. Immediately available for shipment.

Used 185,000 TPY Ethanol Plant. Process is corn dry mix fermentation augmented by non-cellulosic separated food waste and grain sorghum. Plant is designed by Delta-T. Significant improvements have been made in the plant, including a Fluid Quip system. The plant was idled in 2018 and has been professionally mothballed. All of the equipment is included, and this plant can be relocated as a full complete operating plant. This complete package includes: Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers, Ring dryer, Hammermills, (2) Boilers, (3) Air compressors, Fermentation and in-process tanks, DDE with molecular sieve, DCS and plc controls, Distillation & Evaporation, FF&E, Chiller, Cooling tower, (3) Decanter centrifuges, (3) Other centrifuge/decanters associated with the Fluid-Quip process, Electrical MCC's and switchgear. Complete list of equipment, specs, and drawings are available on request.

Used 165,000 TPY Ethanol Plant built in 1995. Produces anhydrous ethanol from corn. Also called a corn dry mill fermentation plant, this plant ferments and distills corn ethanol by taking corn as the feedstock and grinds the corn kernel into "meal". The meal is then slurried by adding water along with enzymes before transferring the product to the fermenters where the final conversions take place, producing ethanol.
