The Overview: Biofuel and ethanol production solutions

When you partner with Ecolab, we help you optimize product quality and get maximum value from every step of the ethanol extraction process. We offer a wide range of equipment cleaning and water management solutions specifically tailored for biofuel production, including utility and process chemistries, cleaners and final rinse formulations.

Evaporator Management

Our Evaporator Management program includes an FDA approved scale inhibitor product line along with CIP . Our evaporator modeling pinpoints exactly when and where to do clean in place. This program helps to reduce total cleaning time, improve cleaning effectiveness, eliminates acid cleaning, improves heat transfer, reduces water usage, and reduces or eliminates costly hydro blasting.

3D TRASAR™ Technology for Membranes

This integrated solution includes a flexible on-site control platform and our remote Ecolab Global Intelligence Center designed to leverage Nalco Water’s world-class technical experts, system automation and treatment programs to provide measurable results that improve your bottom line. Helps maximize your RO production while minimizing your environmental footprint.

3D TRASAR™ Technology for Boilers

3D TRASAR for Boilers offers smart sensor technology, multi-parameter monitoring and improved connectivity. A powerful diagnostic tool, it is designed to protect boiler assets in business-critical and high-stress processes by helping to protect against scale formation and identify potential causes of out-of-spec conditions, supporting optimal performance and eROI.

3D TRASAR™ Technology for Cooling

3D TRASAR for Cooling Water programs deliver the deep insights and operational assistance you need to control your cooling water systems and protect valuable equipment assets with confidence. The programs support optimal performance and, most importantly, provide you with eROI (return on your investment) in the form of water savings, energy savings, reduced carbon emissions and labor savings.

Corn Oil Seperation Program

Our offering captures up to three times more corn oil during the extraction process and increases the overall quality of the yield. This GRAS-certified, patent-pending product is a cost-effective option that requires no additional capital investment and will not increase energy consumption and costs.

Ethanol Corrosion Inhibitor

This corrosion inhibitor helps manage fuel ethanol quality and control costs. Proper dosage prevents corrosion, elastomer damage, and protects fuel system components.  EC5624A PLUS makes it fast and easy for ethanol producers to add exactly the right amount every time.

NexGuard™ 

The NexGuard program is the most advanced boiler internal treatment chemistry in the industry today. Couple that with our state-of-the-art 3D TRASAR technology to provide you the power of diagnostic, monitoring, feed and program control. Application of this innovative program results in reliable, safe, easy-to-use and cost-effective performance.

Thin Stillage Clarification Process

Our thin stillage clarification process allows plants to increase ethanol output and corn oil capture. It reduces thin stillage suspended solids allowing for higher solid concentration in syrup leading to less water to the dryer. It also captures over 85% of all the crude oil present in thin stillage, allowing easier downstream corn oil recovery.  

Mash Train Heat Exchanger Cleaning Program

Our Mash Train Heat Exchanger cleaning program eliminates the need for acid cleaning, assists the plant in becoming FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) compliant, improves heat transfer, and enhances infection control by removing bio film formation.

Trimeta™ Alternative pH Clean in Place Program

Also known as the Acid Safe Program for stainless steel environments. This program is an innovative cleaner and final rinse combination that helps improve cleaning and restore equipment efficiency for ethanol producers. Decreases negative fermentation byproducts that impact ethanol yield and batch quality, such as glycerol, lactic acid and acetic acid.

OMNI™ Heat Exchanger Reliability  

The profitability of your plant depends upon the efficient use of water and energy. Heat exchanger performance is the key. Nalco Water offers OMNI: a comprehensive program combining in-depth system audits, 24/7 monitoring, unique diagnostic tools, and consultative services to help optimize heat transfer and improve reliability. 

Trimeta®  Carbon Steel Cleaning Program 

This program is designed to remove organic and inorganic soil in a CO2 rich environment. This complete CIP program is compatible with Carbon Steel components and helps inhibit corrosion. Including a built alkaline, detergent booster, and final rinse allows for lower volume of chemicals into fermentation.
