Low Carbon Ethanol
At Crysalis, we don’t just produce ethanol — we redefine how it's made. Our advanced, modular biomanufacturing platform transforms grain into clean-burning, high-purity fuel with dramatically reduced carbon intensity. Built for scalability. Engineered for impact.
Our Process
Our production process is designed to maximize efficiency and minimize emissions at every step. From corn receiving to fermentation, distillation, and co-product recovery, we leverage precision controls and integrated analytics to ensure consistently high yields and a reduced carbon footprint. Every gallon we produce reflects our commitment to sustainability, performance, and innovation.
Grain Receiving
Corn is delivered and stored in silos before milling begins.
→
Milling
Grain is ground into fine meal for better enzymatic conversion.
→
Mash Prep
Enzymes and water are added to convert starch into sugars.
→
Fermentation
Yeast converts sugars into ethanol and CO₂ in tanks.
→
Distillation
Ethanol is separated from water and solids using heat columns.
→
Evaporation
Water is reduced, and syrup is concentrated for reuse.
→
Purification
Acids are neutralized to produce high-purity ethanol.
→
Storage
Final ethanol is stored in tanks for transport or blending.
