Agricultural/Biofuels Process Technology
Ethanol plants utilize fermentation processes to produce ethanol from nutrients derived from corn. The Agricultural & Biofuels Process Technology program will teach you to apply scientific principles and technical skills in support of ethanol fermentation plant processes. You will receive hands-on training, and study electrical and electronics theory, digital fundamentals, process control, instrumentation, high level equipment maintenance and analysis, and bioprocess laboratory techniques. As a graduate, you will be prepared to work as an ethanol plant technician operating scientific equipment that’s used in ethanol fermentation, bio-renewable fuel production, and distillation processes.
