Abstract |
In connection with the increased manufacture of synthetic alcohol the production load of alcohol plants converting agricultural raw materials has been reduced recently. At the same time, because of inadequate capacities of starch plants, the production of food starch, nevertheless, lags behind demands. Therefore, the organization of combined conversion of potatoes to alcohol, starch and feed in alcohol plants located in well-developed potato growing regions is one of the most rational and prospective directions in the operation of many alcohol plants. Combined processing of potatoes will make it possible to increase the output of starch enormously, make most efficient use of the technical and raw material base of alcohol plants, and at the same time more completely utilize the entire composition of processed potatoes. |
