Co-Harvest and Anaerobic Co-Storage of Corn Grain and Stover as Biomass Feedstocks

Abstract: Highlights Cutting height and harvest date were used to alter stover moisture content, yield, and composition. Anaerobic co-storage of grain and stover limited losses to less than 6% of dry matter. Extent of fermentation was greater for higher moisture stover than grain, but total acids were less than 5 g kg-1. Reducing the harvester cutter head rotational speed resulted in a greater fraction of whole cor… Show more

“…It is envisioned that at removal from anaerobic storage, the comingled grain and stover will be quickly transported to a biorefinery where separation of these two fractions will occur soon after delivery. It is unlikely that fermented corn kernels separated from stover will have a long storage duration before end use because the fermentation level is low and aerobic heating could be an issue [4]. For this reason, it is also unlikely that kernels will be stored in large grain bins, where packing from pressure of large overlaying grain mass will affect bulk density.…”

“…), the stover moisture would typically be 30% to 55% (w.b.) [4]. Successful conservation of the co-stored fractions of corn grain and stover is facilitated by anerobic storage and fermentation of both fractions.…”

“…Conservation of the co-stored fractions is facilitated by anaerobic storage and fermentation [1]. During anaerobic storage, the grain gains moisture from the moist stover and becomes lightly fermented [3]. Fermented corn kernels have been shown to have different physical properties than typical dry grain [4].…”
