Chemicals from Biomass: Integrating Bioprocesses into Chemical
Production Complexes for Sustainable Development helps engineers
optimize the development of new chemical and polymer plants that
use renewable resources to replace the output of goods and services
from existing plants. It also discusses the conversion of those
existing plants into facilities that are based on renewable
resources that may require nonrenewable resource supplements.
Relying on extensive reviews of biomass as feedstock and the
production of chemicals from biomass, this book identifies and
illustrates the design of new chemical processes (bioprocesses)
that use renewable feedstock (biomass) as raw materials. The
authors show how these new bioprocesses can be integrated into the
existing plant in a chemical production complex to obtain the best
combination of energy-efficient and environmentally acceptable
facilities. This presented methodology is an essential component of
sustainable development, and these steps are essential to achieving
a sustainable chemical industry.
The authors evaluate potential bioprocesses based on a
conceptual design of biomass-based chemical production, and they
use Aspen HYSYS(r) and Aspen ICARUS(r) to perform simulations and
economic evaluations of these processes. The book outlines detailed
process designs created for seven bioprocesses that use biomass and
carbon dioxide as feedstock to produce a range of chemicals and
monomers. These include fermentation, transesterification,
anaerobic digestion, gasification, and algae oil production. These
process designs, and associated simulation codes, can be downloaded
for modification, as needed. The methodology presented in this book
can be used to evaluate energy efficiency, cost, sustainability,
and environmental acceptability of plants and new products. Based
on the results of that analysis, the methodology can be applied to
other chemical complexes for new bioprocesses, reduced emissions,
and energy savings.
