Wet ethanol production process yields more ethanol and more c...(e fermentation which is more efficient b...)

e fermentation which is more efficient because the germ and fiber are non-fermentable. "It's better to removed them before the process. That way you have more starch in the fermenter. And you don't have to heat them and bump them and cool them," Khullar said.

The process doesn't require developing any new equipment. "It's just a modification of things that are already being done in the corn processing industry and can be done pretty easily," Khullar said.
