FERMENTATION SYSTEM FOR DRY MILL PROCESSES

摘要

Methods of and system for growing higher and stronger levels of yeast in the Yeast Tank and Fermenter Tank during the fermentation filling cycle are provided. The yeast growth is reconfigured by continuing pumping yeast under the most active conditions while at a lower YCC (yeast cell count) into the Fermenter Tank during a filling period. A measurable and useful parameter, % DT/% Yeast by weight ratio (or “food” to yeast ratio), is introduced (e.g., % DT=glucose), which offers information on the health status of the yeast.

主权项

1. A fermentation method comprising:
a) adjusting a health condition of a yeast in a yeast solution based on a ratio of % DT/% Yeast by weight; and b) continuously inputting the yeast solution in a fermenter tank during a filling period.
