The demand for ethanol production continues to increase as the impact of climate change is felt globally. As a result, ethanol plants seek solutions to improve their ethanol production and energy efficiency. The Thermal Kinetics Engineering team is leading the way with a new program. This new program increases plant production and integrates the RCM Thermal Kinetics patented energy integration technology.
RCM Thermal Kinetics is proud to announce the launch of an advanced program for ethanol plant expansion: New Ethanol eXpansion Technology – or NEXT. This cutting-edge technology incorporates concepts and practices adapted from the refining industry, engineered to revolutionize ethanol plant production expansion projects.
Sustainable and Efficient Increase in Ethanol Production
NEXT enables existing ethanol production plants to unlock an additional 10-20 million gallons of ethanol per year without major equipment replacement. Developed by seasoned chemical engineers, NEXT provides a tailored solution for each plant, while taking into account the plants’ design, and ethanol expansion needs.
Driving Profitability in Ethanol Production
In a rapidly evolving industry, ethanol plants no longer need to rely on costly, time-consuming methods for expansion. NEXT is here to revolutionize the process. Implementing NEXT into existing ethanol production systems provides a sustainable project strategy for our customers due to the low implementation cost and minimized plant production interruptions. Furthermore, NEXT offers ethanol producers a powerful tool to maximize their productivity and profitability.
The benefits of NEXT technology include:
- Enhanced Production Capabilities: NEXT enables producers to unlock incremental increases in plant output, in order to meet today’s rising demand for renewable fuels.
- Improved Efficiency and Profitability: The NEXT engineering program combines strategic equipment replacement and detailed hydraulic balance. NEXT encompasses the entire Distillation, Dehydration and Evaporation systems, unlocking operational efficiencies, and resulting in increased profitability.
- Seamless Implementation with Zero Production Downtime: The team executes NEXT during short-duration plant turnarounds, ensuring that expansion efforts do not interrupt production schedules.
This new technology supports Thermal Kinetics’ mission to lead the biofuels industry toward a sustainable future by creating innovative, eco-conscious solutions that drive both business success and environmental stewardship.
