Products Name：Take fresh cassava to produce cassava flour and alcohol
Comprehensive Utilization of Fresh Cassava
According to the characteristics of fresh cassava, Jinan Keyu Company has developed professional equipment and supporting production technology for producing edible cassava flour, alcohol and liquid CO2. This set of equipment can recycle and utilize the residual starch in cassava skin. It can solve the pollution problem and create significant economic benefits.
1. Production scale
Production scale can range from 50~2000 tons of fresh cassava being processed per day, and produce 7.5~300 tons of fine quality cassava flour, 5~200 tons of fine quality food grade alcohol (or 99.8% anhydrous ethanol) and 3.5~140 tons of high purity liquid CO2 accordingly.
2. Functional analysis of the project products
2.1 Edible cassava flour
High quality edible cassava flour meets the standards of CXS 176-1989 (2019). Cassava flour can be used as raw material to make fructose, glucose, and other ingredients. Edible cassava flour not only has high starch content, but also contains protein, vitamins, mineral elements, dietary fiber, etc. It is a special food with excellent health benefits, containing rich food based low-fat beta acids and micro elements. After human consumption, these nutrients can be quickly absorbed, which can protect the liver, strengthen the spleen and stomach, nourish the skin, relieve constipation, and improve the antiviral ability of body cells.
Edible cassava flour can also be used in industries. It shall only be used to produce food, but also be used in industrial production such as beverages and candy. Edible cassava flour has many functions such as thickening, aroma enhancement and crystallization control.
2.2 High quality alcohol
The quality of alcohol meets the Quality Requirements of Edible Alcohol (GB/T 10343-2003). Alcohol is a major chemical raw material with a wide range of usage. It is a good organic solvent, also has a bactericidal effect and can be used as a disinfectant and preservative; Alcohol is also widely used in food and beverage production, and can be used to produce alcohol drinks, fruit wine, and etc.
2.3 High purity liquid CO2
The quality of liquid CO2 meets the standard of "National Standard for Food Safety-Food Additive-Carbon Dioxide" (GB/T 1886.228-2016), the purity can reach 99.99%. It is widely used in beer, beverage, fire fighting, welding protection gas, industrial alkali production, tobacco expansion, petroleum fracturing, biodegradable plastic production.
2.4 The wastewater discharged from alcohol production process can be treated by biogas fermentation. The whole production process is climate friendly with zero pollution and emissions.
3. Process flow:
4.Process features:
4.1 The process adopts cleaner production methods, it can comprehensively utilize cassava peels, waste water and residues to increase plant’s economic benefits, and protect environment.
4.2 In the process of alcohol production, the use of new technology and new formula can greatly improve the alcohol concentration of fermented mash. The mutual heat exchange between materials reduces the steam consumption, saving energy and water resources. The economic benefit of the project can be improved significantly.
4.3 Carbon dioxide gas goes through multiple tower washing, adsorption, drying, and purification tower, and finally produced to food grade high purity liquid carbon dioxide.
4.5 PLC control system is adopted to ensure stable production and good quality products,
reducing staff numbers and labor intensity.
