Genencor Introduces Improved Acid Fungal Protease For Ethanol Production
Filed in archive Energy, Environment and Ecology , Meetings and Other Events on June 20, 2006
Genencor International has released a new acid fungal protease for use in the ethanol production industry.
According to Genencor, these of the new enzyme preparation called Fermgen can result to faster ethanol fermentation, with increased nitrogen content. The biggest advantage of this product is that it is effective under low pH (pH 3.0-4.5), which is the pH currently used in the fuel ethanol industry.
Fermgen will be introduced to the public this week during the Fuel Ethanol Workshop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 20-23, 2006.

"But there are some problems with increasing ethanol blends. Ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, so increasing the amount of ethanol in gasoline will likely result in lower fuel economy. Increasing standard fuel blends from zero to 10 percent ethanol, as is happening today, has little or no impact on fuel economy. In tests, the differences occur within the margin of error, about 0.5 percent. Further increasing ethanol levels to 20 percent reduces fuel economy between 1 and 3 percent, according to testing by the DOE and General Motors. Evaluations are underway to determine if E20 will burn effectively in today's engines without impacting reliability and longevity, and also assessing potential impact on fuel economy."
