One useful exercise in this vein was the January meeting of APRIA in Paris. the meeting's presentations included some new figures Amongst other data, for that rather mysterious production of fodder yeast in the USSR, said now to exceed one million tonnes per year. This is mostly from pulp liquors and wood hydrolysates, but it includes the output from several plants said to range from a 70,000 t.p.a. plant operating an n-alkane process, At the other commissioned in 1973 to a recent 200,000 t.p.a. installation. end of the scale, the Amoco food-grade yeast process based on ethanol runs at 5000 tonnes annually in the USA, with plants to extend into Europe - which makes curious reading, since carbohydrate-based ethanol is supposed to be competitive with the petro-ethanol Amoco uses as feedstock !
