The diagram below shows how ethanol fuel is produced from corn.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and
make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing ethanol fuel from corn.
In general, there are three main stages commencing from collecting the raw corns
and ending with the delivery to the market. Noticeably, corn is fermented
biologically into ethanol before being chemically purified to become fuel.
In the first stage, the harvested corn from the field is brought to the storehouse
before milling and grinding into power. The following stage is that the power is
cooked with water in a cylindrical container for four hours, with the resulting
mixture subsequently transferred to a closed tank and left to ferment for two days.
During this stage, the cornmeal mush is converted into ethanol in the absence of
oxygen.
The next stage involves the separation and purification of the ethanol produced in
the previous step. First, a chemical process is used to separate the liquid ethanol
from the solid by-product. Afterwards, this liquid is introduced into a series of
reactions, further, removing the contaminants and resulting in pure ethanol after 5
hours. This product is ready to be used and can be either stored or delivered to gas
station.
The diagram below shows the production of olive oil.

The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing olive oil from olive fruits.
In general, there are seven steps commencing from the collection of the raw fruits
and ending with the consumption and storage.
The first stage involves workers at an olive grove hand-picking the fruits, which
are then transported to a factory with special machinery to process them further.
Initially, the harvested fruits are passed through a bath of cold water, thus rinsing
them. Next, they are transferred via a conveyor belt onto a container, where they
are ground. At this stage, the olive paste is separated from the pits, called olive
stones, which are discarded.
In the second half of the process, the olive paste is industrially processed. Held in
perforated bags, the paste is pressed in order to extract the liquid, before the final
apparatus churns this liquid, separating the water from the oil. The resulting olive
oil is then packaged and sent to either the storage or the market for sale.
The diagram illustrates the production of instant noodles.
In general, there are eight main steps the process, commencing from the delivery of
raw flours at the storehouse and ending with the final product sold on the market.
At the beginning, the packages of flour are transported from the storage silos to the
factory by trucks. Next, they are mixed with the mixture of water and oil in a
special machine before going through roller machine in order to stretch into
various dough sheets. The following step is that those big sheets are cut into
separately thin slips.
After that, the noodles are formed round-shaped discs, which are dried after a
period of cooking with oil. The seventh step involves putting the cooked noodles
into cups, adding some ingredients such as vegetables and spices. Subsequently,
the freshly printed labels are glued to finished cups of instant noodles. This product
is ready to be used and can be delivered to the market for sale.
