Dual-Purpose Cassava Starch & Bioethanol Plant Conversion

Job ID: 39188780

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

Engineering Plans for Cassava Starch Plant Conversion to Dual-Output Starch & Bioethanol Facility

Project Description:

We are seeking an experienced process or industrial engineer to develop detailed plans for converting an existing cassava starch processing plant into a dual-output facility producing both cassava starch and bioethanol.

Scope of Work:
• Assess the current plant layout, equipment, and processing capacity.
• Design modifications to integrate bioethanol production while maintaining starch output.
• Develop detailed engineering drawings and process flow diagrams.
• Specify required equipment upgrades or additions, including fermentation, distillation, and waste management systems.
• Provide utility and energy requirements for the modified plant.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and environmental regulations.
• Offer cost estimates and implementation timelines.

Ideal Candidate:
• Expertise in industrial process design, preferably in food processing or biofuel production.
• Strong understanding of cassava processing and fermentation technologies.
• Experience in plant retrofitting and equipment integration.
• Proficiency in engineering software for CAD, process simulation, and flow design.

Deliverables:
• Engineering design documents (P&IDs, layout drawings, and specifications).
• A feasibility report covering costs, energy needs, and regulatory considerations.
• A phased implementation plan for the conversion.

If you have relevant experience and can deliver a practical, cost-effective solution, we’d love to hear from you!
