Process engineering can potentially provide the means to develop
economically viable and environmentally friendly technologies for
the production of fuel ethanol. Focusing on a key tool of process
engineering, Process Synthesis for Fuel Ethanol Production is a
comprehensive guide to the design and analysis of the most advanced
technologies for fuel ethanol production from feedstocks. It
describes how process systems engineering can be applied to fuel
ethanol production to achieve new levels of efficiency according to
technical, economic, and environmental criteria. Drawing on the
authors' more than 15 years of process engineering and ethanol
research, the book first focuses on liquid biofuels, before
examining the role of process synthesis in the rapid and high-tech
analysis and design of complex biotechnological processes. It then
describes various types of feedstocks, including sugars, starchy
crops, lignocellulosic biomass, and microorganisms, as well as
hydrolysis technologies, such as saccharification. The authors
cover the fuel ethanol production technologies for different
feedstocks, the new technological innovations based on process
integration to reduce energy consumption, and the environmental
issues of bioethanol production. They also discuss the
technological configurations for fuel ethanol production in the
industry and the possible factors affecting food security with fuel
ethanol production and consumption. Supported by case studies that
include calculations and discussions of results, this book uses a
process engineering approach to explore the analysis and
development of fuel ethanol production from different feedstocks.
It shows how accurate analysis and precise design, along with
responsible government policies, can lead to fair and sustainable
development of energy crops worldwide.
