Bioethanol

Next-Generation Enzymes for Bioethanol Production

Enzymes play a key role in the production of bioethanol, as they enable the efficient utilization of diverse raw materials and help achieve the highest possible yield. A variety of biomasses can be used as raw materials, such as food industry side streams, biowaste and wood-based materials such as sawdust.

Our range includes enzyme solutions for different stages of the bioethanol process, for example:

  • alpha-amylase enzyme mixtures for liquefaction, which work effectively even at low pH values and process temperatures
  • glucoamylase enzymes for saccharification and fermentation
  • cellulases for viscosity reduction and improved process control

If you would like more information about the enzymes we offer and their suitability for your process, please contact us — we will be happy to help you find a solution that suits your needs.

Energy and Cost-Efficient Production

Genencor enzymes supplied by HK-Import enable ethanol production to be carried out economically and with energy savings, as the enzymes operate at lower temperatures than traditional solutions. This reduces energy consumption and enables more cost-effective production processes. When building new production plants, equipment investments can also be made more cost-effectively by utilizing Genencor’s modern enzyme technology.
