Diagram A shows the ethanol production process which involves fermentation, evaporation, distillation, and dehydration stages. Molasses and sugarcane juice are diluted and fermented by yeast in propagation and fermentation tanks, producing ethanol. The liquid is then evaporated and distilled to separate ethanol, and dehydrated to produce anhydrous ethanol. Stillage byproducts are treated through anaerobic and aerobic digesters to produce fuel-grade ethanol and process water.
