Alkalosis is a condition in which the body fluids have excess base (alkali). This is the opposite of excess acid (acidosis). The kidneys and lungs maintain the proper balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Decreased carbon dioxide (an acid) level or increased bicarbonate (a base) level makes the body too alkaline, a condition called alkalosis.
By December 2010 the U.S. ethanol production industry consisted of 204 plants operating in 29 states, and 9 plants under construction or expansion, adding 560 million gallons of new capacity and bringing total U.S. installed capacity to 14.6 billion U.S. gallons (55.25 billion liters).
The Richardton plant will consume 18-20 million bushels of corn annually. Red Trail Energy will produce 50 million gallons of ethanol annually. This amount is guaranteed by the builder. The Richardton plant will generate 2.8 gallons of ethanol from every bushel of corn. This amount is guaranteed by the builder. Red Trail Energy will produce 162,000 tons of DDGS (dried distillers grain) or 402,000 tons of wetcake, enough feed to support 220,000 head of feeder cattle.
