  • Publication number: 20100229980
    Abstract: A modular system is provided to introduce a grain containing a commercial enzyme into an ethanol production facility. The modular system comprises a plurality of portable storage units configured to receive a raw grain material. Each storage unit is adapted for transportation between ethanol production facilities. A portable processing unit is in communication with each of the storage units for receiving the grain material therefrom. The processing unit is configured to mix a grain containing a commercial enzyme with a commodity grain so that the enzyme is in effective amounts to sufficiently carry out downstream enzymatic applications. The processing unit is further configured to meter the processed grain material at appropriate admix levels to an ethanol production facility. The processing unit is adapted for transportation between ethanol production facilities. Associated apparatuses and methods are also provided.
