Abstract
The present invention relates to a dry grind ethanol process in which post-distillation backset is subjected to aerobic fermentation to remove components that are inhibitory to an ethanolagen, such as yeast, allowing the utilization of an increased amount of post-distillation backset during the initial preparation of starch-containing substrates for the dry grind ethanol process. Aerobic fermentation of the post-distillation backset allows substantially higher backset recycle, resulting in fresh water savings and increased sustainability.
