OSTI ID:6534500

The results of a study to determine the technical and economic feasibility of constructing and operating a fuel grade ethanol plant in Talladega County, Alabama are presented. The conceptual design of the plant is included. The site for the proposed plant was originally part of the Alabama Ordnance Works (AOW). The potential for utilizing surplus distillation equipment and other inactive AOW facilities (power plant, water treatment plant, and water pumping station) was investigated. The process description, major equipment, site plan, construction schedule, and operating costs are discussed. (DMC)
