Embodiment Construction

[0046] figure 1 : basic invention

[0047] As an example, figure 1 A device 10 is shown, for example having at least one signal processor or signal processing module 10a for implementing a signal processing function according to the invention. In operation, the at least one signal processor or signal processing module 10a may be configured at least to:

[0048] receiving signaling comprising information related to measurements of one or more components of an output stream from a centrifuge in a dry corn milling process that includes the production of ethanol; and

[0049] Based on the received signaling, a corresponding signaling containing information related to real-time feedback control of the dry corn milling process is determined.

[0050] As an example, consistent with what is set forth below, the output stream may include a centrifuge 201 ( Figure 4 ) output stream 20l 2 or 20l 3 , centrifuge 20l to form Figure 2 to Figure 3 Part of the dry corn milling proce...

Abstract

Apparatus features a signal processor or signal processing module configured to: receive signaling containing information about a measurement of one or more constituents of an output stream from a centrifuge in a dry corn milling process, including to produce Ethanol; and determine corresponding signaling containing information about a real time feedback control of the dry corn milling process, based upon the signaling received. The signal processor or signal processing module is configured to provide the corresponding signaling as control signaling to provide the real time feedback control ofthe dry corn milling process.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 194,539 (712-2.423 / / CCS-0147), filed July 20, 2015, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to techniques for controlling the dry corn milling process; and more particularly, to techniques for controlling the dry corn milling ethanol production process. Background technique [0004] The dry corn milling process is the primary method of ethanol production in North America. In operation, dry corn milling produces ethanol, corn syrup, and corn oil from corn through a process of fermentation, distillation, and separation. After the distillation stage following the corn fermentation process, through evaporation and separation of the stillage by-products, two marketable / valuable by-products are produced: corn oil and corn syrup. Stillage processing is enhance...
