6
 THE ETHANOL PLANT

Discover the full solution for the production of hydrous and

anhydrous ethanol with the highest raw material efficiency and a
special respect for the natural environment

Fuel Ethanol Compact Plants with the following production capacity

range:
• 10.000 litters per day
• 30.000 litters per day
• 60.000 litters per day
• Customized units up to 160.000 litters per day
7
 JUICE EXTRACTION
PROCESS

Alcompac’s juice extraction process is obtained

through the diffusion technology. The sugar cane
diffuser has 2% more efficiency than the
conventional milling systems.

8
 THE FERMENTATION
PROCESS

The fermentation process is the continuous

process, the most up-to-date method in Brazilian
Distilleries. It also allows for the recovery of the
yeast through the centrifugation of the sugar-cane
fermented juice. 9
 DISTILLATION AND
STORAGE

The Distillation process is

composed of distillation,
rectification and dehydration
columns. The Ethanol Plant
can either produce hydrous or
anhydrous ethanol.

Alcompac can provide storage

tanks in accordance with the
marketing and sales strategies
of each project.

 SUB-PRODUCTS
MANAGEMENT

Usage of Bagasse
Alcompac provides a triple-ballon, 21 BAR boiler that
secures the necessary dry and ultra-heated steam for both
the fuel ethanol production and power generation
processes.

Usage of Vinasse
The vinasse generated by the process
may be stored and used for irrigation
and fertilization of the sugar cane
plantation.

 MODULAR SOLUTION FOR
LARGE SCALE
PRODUCTION
Advantages
• The modular system allows a step-by-step strategy, reducing
initial investment
• Generation of extra-power that maybe distributed to the grid
• Sanitary barrier, that avoids plague proliferation
• Possibility to produce other food crops, in-between the sugar
cane areas
• The system reduces the distances through which the sugar
cane must be transported, thus reducing production costs
• Scale gains in the handling of the production remainings

PRODUCTION TODAY

Basic Figures
• Cane production in Brazil
(2006/2007) – 425,7
million tons.
• Fuel Ethanol Production
(2006/2007) – 17,7 billion
litters
• Ethanol Revenues – USD
20 billion
• 325 plants in operation.
• 86 new plants projected
until 2012

29
EXPANSION AREAS

Growth Estimates
• Sugar cane production
(2012/2013) – 727,8
million tons
• Fuel ethanol production
(2012/2013) – 30 billion
litters
• New investments (New
plants and expansion of the
existing ones) – US$ 17
bilhões.

30
 SOIL POTENTIAL IN BRAZIL

Area used for sugar-cane (2006/2007) – 6,4 million hectares

Without irrigation, the

area now occupied
may increase 15 times

With irrigation, that

may increase 20 times
