PRODUCTION OF EDIBLE ETHANOL 95.5% ALCOHOL FROM CASSAVA TUBERS IN NIGERIA, THE FEASIBILITY REPORT.

Ethanol, also called ethyl alcohol; can be used as fuel alcohol, drinking alcohol, and grain alcohol. The common type of ethanol is the one found in alcoholic beverages. It is also used as fuel for cars and often called alcohol or spirit.

Ethanol is generally produced by the fermentation of sugar, cellulose, or converted starch and has a long history. In Nigeria, local production of ethanol from maize, guinea corn, millet, other starchy substrates, and cellulose is as old as the country itself.

The opportunity for ethanol production in Nigeria is amazing. Right now, our demand locally is being met by importation.

Nigeria is the largest producer of cassava in the world, producing about 40 million tons per of the product annually. Cassava is one of the richest fermentable substances for the production of crude alcohol/ethanol. Cassava produces a better quality alcohol, and the distilling technique employed ensures a high quality product, free from all type of odors and not harmful to the environment.

There are two types of ethanol: (1) Denatured ethanol and (2) Hydrous ethanol
Denatured Ethanol: It is the one used in blending Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to E10, E20 etc. It is usually mixed with 2-5 low cost hydrocarbon that makes it unfit for human consumption.

Hydrous Ethanol: It is the natural ethanol used as industrial raw material in the production of alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, perfumes, drinks, medicaments and other industrial uses. We consume up to 20 million litres of the product annually and presently, there is nobody producing it despite the abundance of the raw material (cassava) in the country. The production is viable because it is resource-based: the raw material, the technology and the equipment are all locally available.

This report seeks to examine the financial viability or otherwise of establishing hydrous ethanol production plant in Nigeria using cassava tubers as basic raw material.

The capacity of the proposed plant is 2,500 litres in eight {8} hours working three {3} shifts the plant would operate for 24 hours for 300 day per annum.
