Abstract
A process for producing alcohol and dried distillers grain from a source material containing starch or sugar by cooking, by saccharification, fermentation, evaporation, distillation, and wherein the distillers grain is dried by heat produced by flash cooling of effluent from cooking of the source material and by air heated by heat exchange with the overhead vapor from the distillation operation, the process resulting in reducing the external energy required to effect drying of the distillers grain.
