THE BENEFITS
Since its installation was completed in February 2011, the Pavilion8-based MPC solution has greatly improved overall plant stability and reduced variability of all crucial process parameters — especially in the batch fermentation operations. Key gains include:
• 2.2% increase in ethanol yield per bushel of corn;
• 7.2% boost in overall ethanol production;
• 7.7% decrease in energy consumption per gallon;
• better stability of all key process variables;
• 40–70% reduction in the standard deviation for each variable, and
• payback of less than 12 months.
