Reviewing New Innovations in Yeast Strains and Deployment Strategies
Room 101HI - (8:30 am - 10:00 am)
Read Description
While Saccharomyces cerevisiae remains the go-to microorganism for ethanol production, perhaps the biggest reason for its staying power is its malleability. Fermentations are hostile environments for yeast populations and significant research attention is dedicated to the development of strains able to withstand these punishing environments. This panel will bring producers up to date on the efforts to deliver strains to the marketplace that keep them abreast of their yield targets in an increasingly competitive market.

Best Practices in Plant Control I: Setting Up Your Plant to Efficiently Capture, Interpret and React to Inbound Operational Data
Room 101FG - (8:30 am - 10:00 am)
Read Description
No ethanol producer would dispute that data capture and interpretation are vital to plant optimization efforts. The challenge for producers lies in deploying not only the right technologies, but also in building a system that will deliver information and decision points that human operators can quickly interpret and act upon. These presentations offer guidance on building plant control strategies that keep the human operators top of mind, ensuring that they are equipped with relevant information from which they can make decisions that keep their facility running safely, efficiently and profitably.

A Close Look at the Latest Thinking in the Deployment of Antimicrobials to Control Bacterial Outbreaks
Room 101HI - (10:30 am - Noon)
Read Description
While ethanol producers work diligently to create environments for their preferred bio-organisms to thrive and propagate they simultaneously create environments for all manner of other, not preferred bio-organisms to thrive as well. Presenters in this panel will offer producers a range of options for monitoring and controlling infections in plant fermentation tanks as well as within cooling towers. Infections are costly and as a result the suite of options available for producers to deploy are under continued development and refinement.

Early Thoughts on Keeping Pace with Feedstock Demand as Renewable Diesel and SAF Production Grows
Room 200BC - (10:30 am - Noon)
Read Description
The early projections for sustainable aviation fuel demand are eye popping. The 100 billion gallon aviation fuel market is forecast to more than double by 2050 by some forecasters. Additionally, aviation markets are unlikely to see demand erosion due to electrification. Professionals with deep experience in biodiesel production know that feedstocks are already tight and these additional demand centers will require feedstock innovation if the ambitious targets for future production are to be met. These presentations will examine likely pressures on existing and emerging feedstocks and how alcohol-to-jet pathways may ease some of the pressure on triglyceride inventories.

Why Exploring New Frontiers in Fermentation is a Vital Part of Any Plant's Operational Strategy
Room 101HI - (1:30 pm - 3:00 pm)
Read Description
The practice of experimenting with fermentations at smaller scale is widespread in many industrial applications, but not typically in ethanol production. Historically, fermentation tweaks are pioneered at lab levels but then must make the jump to prime time. This is a big step forward and has constrained the practice of experimentation for ethanol producers. The presenters in this panel will offer producers options enabling more experimentation within the fermentation step, allowing them to test new yeast strains, nutrition doses and enzyme combinations.
