BRI PROCESS SCHEMATIC

Under a $2.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Bioengineering Resources, Inc. (BRI) is investigating the feasibility of locating BRI facilities that produce ethanol by processing corn stover next to conventional grain alcohol plants. The study is assessing the synergies involved with such co-location, such as the utilization of waste heat and power from a BRI plant to reduce the operating costs of the neighboring sugar fermentation plant.
