Optimized Ethanol Yield with Trimeta® Cleaning Program for Fermentation
Optimized Ethanol Yield with Trimeta® Cleaning Program for Fermentation
The Ecolab Trimeta® Cleaning Program is a complete clean-in-place ethanol processing technology. It's designed to remove organic and inorganic soil in a CO2 rich environment, and it's compatible with carbon steel components and helps inhibit corrosion. The result? A lower volume of chemicals recycled into fermentation.
Trial customers achieved increased ethanol output, improved cleaning and better chemistry compatibility.
