Sustainable Biodiesel: Real World Designs, Economics and
Applications offers a unique, integrated approach that combines
cutting-edge research results and the day-to-day aspects of
biodiesel production at the industrial level. The book brings
together experienced academics and recognized industry experts to
explore the most practical elements of research and discuss
limitations and future needs in the industry. Sections discuss
biodiesel-based biorefineries, feedstock supply chains, reactor
technologies and processes for biodiesel production. In addition,
the authors examine biodiesel plants from the point-of-view of
design, operation, quality control, lifecycle costing (LCC), life
cycle assessment, and environmental and exergetic sustainability,
and more. This book provides both researchers and practitioners in
the field of biomass and biofuels with a well-rounded understanding
of how the technologies developed in the lab can be deployed in the
industry at commercial scale in a sustainable and cost-efficient
way.
Higher Alcohols Production Platforms: From Strain Development to
Process Design comprehensively covers the production of higher
alcohols, from the fundamentals to the latest research. Bringing
together experts from industry and academia, the book sheds light
on the practical aspects of higher alcohol production and offers a
roadmap for researchers to follow. In addition to the fundamentals
of higher alcohol production, readers are presented with detailed
information on up and downstream processes, including microbial
processes and the various production pathways available. A
discussion of metabolic pathways has a dedicated chapter, as do C2,
C3-C8, and C4 sugar fermentation platforms. A lifecycle assessment
is also presented, addressing the energy, environmental, social and
economic factors in the sustainability of higher alcohol
production. Readers will find this to be a unique and comprehensive
reference on the production of higher alcohols that will be of
interest to students, researchers and industry professionals
involved in bioenergy and renewable energy, and more.
