Kentucky Agricultural Energy Corporation 21-million gallon per year fuel-ethanol plant: Final report
This report describes the design, construction, start-up, and operation of the 21-million gallon per year ethanol facility built by KAEC in Franklin, Kentucky. Built from the ground up, the plant construction began at the 180-acre plant site on November 3, 1980. The first alcohol was produced on December 20, 1982. The plant is a dry milling fermentation facility. The plant also manufactures as co-products distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) at approximately 70,000 tons per year, and carbon dioxide at approximately 70,000 tons per year. The plant consumes 8 million bushels per year of yellow shelled corn. The actual operating data in this report are based on the four-month operating period of July, August, September, and October 1986. During this production period the plant averaged 103%, 88%, 105%, and 105% of design capacity for each month, respectively. This report will compare the design operation and economics with actual performance.
