Abstract

See full text

A method for determining performance characteristics of a fermenter batch in a biofuel production plant based on stoichiometry of fermentation reactions, comprising determining a cell mass of a sample of the fermenter batch; a glucose equivalent total (GET) based at least on the cell mass of the sample of the fermenter batch, and a starch to glucose conversion factor (SGCF) based at least on the GET; a total amount of glucose based at least on the SGCF, a volume of ethanol based at least on the total amount of glucose and the GET; at least one of a fermenter yield based at least on the volume of ethanol, and a fermenter efficiency based on the fermenter yield or the volume of ethanol; and generating an output based on the fermenter yield and/or the fermenter efficiency.
