Description
Summary:If Alico goes ahead and builds the plant it intends to use gasification technology from Fayetteville, Arkansas-based Bioengineering Resources (BRI). BRI's technology involves: gasification: a two-stage process to thermally decompose the carbon molecules in organic feedstocks; fermentation: a patented microorganism reconstructs CO, CO2 and H2 into ethanol and water; and distillation: anhydrous ethanol is produced by conventional distillation followed by a molecular sieve.
