Processing of cassava to extract starch results in the formation of solid and liquid waste. The waste material if discharged to the environment in the long term will become an environmental burden, but in the short term represents a net loss to the starch processor. Contained in both the solid and liquid waste is a substantial amount of starch that spills over during processing, especially when inefficient technologies or practices are used. This paper reports on the development of a technology that can utilize the starch contained in the pulp and waste water for ethanol production.
