This study carried out an exergetic analysis of a proposed ethanol production scheme in which a new process – enzymatic … hydrolysis of sugarcane bagasse – is integrated into the conventional process. Seven cases were evaluated, among them a … conventional ethanol production plant without hydrolysis, a conventional plant combined with hydrolysis and hydrolysate …

Sugarcane is one of the most important industries of the Brazilian economy, and its main products are sugar and ethanol …. Most of the industrial plants produce both products in an integrated process, in which the sugarcane bagasse is a by … analysis is used to assess an integrated sugar and ethanol plant with its cogeneration system. The plant was divided into eight …

Sugarcane bagasse and trash may be used as feedstock for second generation ethanol production. Production of second … generation ethanol integrated with first generation plants processing sugarcane presents several advantages over the stand … autonomous distillery processing sugarcane were assessed through simulation using Aspen Plus. Second generation ethanol …

Ethanol is produced in large scale from sugarcane in Brazil by fermentation of sugars and distillation. This is … of these alternative fermentation processes in ethanol production, energy consumption and electricity surplus produced in … ethanol production increases between 3.3% and 4.8% and a reduction in steam consumption happens of up to 36%. About the …

inefficient and pollutant uses. The sugarcane bagasse is one of the more abundant biomass. Moreover, the fluctuating sugar and … energy prices force the sugarcane companies to implement improved power plants. Thanks to a multiyear collaboration between … University of Rome and University of Piura and Chiclayo, this paper investigates, starting from the real data of an old sugarcane …

Demand for bioethanol has grown considerably over the last years. Even though Brazil has been producing ethanol from … sugarcane on a large scale for decades, this industry is characterized by low energy efficiency, using a large fraction of the … set operating with biomass gas produced in a gasifier that uses sugarcane bagasse as raw material. Thermoeconomic analyses …

This work presents a mathematical model for helping mills choose sugarcane varieties for planting. It maximizes crop … planting area. For this full zero-one linear programming techniques were proposed. The model is viable for choosing sugarcane … varieties that would benefit sugarcane production and industrial systems, by reducing crop residue and increasing final energy …

economical and environmental performance of the ethanol production process from sugarcane and corn under Colombian conditions has … process (AHP) approach, sugarcane ethanol process was determined as the best choice for Colombian ethanol production … facilities. AHP scores obtained in this study for sugarcane and corn ethanol were 0.571 and 0.429, respectively. However, starchy …
