Production of Fuel Grade Ethanol: Optimization – Based Design, Operation and Control
نویسنده
چکیده
The extractive distillation of ethanol using glycerol as entrainer is studied, where a Numerical – Optimization based design, operation and controls were performed. The research includes several steps, where different kinds of numerical optimization are involved. Through the Optimization based design, it is possible to obtain both optimal operating conditions and optimal design. The solutions of all the optimization problems are achieved using state of the art computational tools and solvers. The results of each stage establishes the process that maximizes an economic criterion for the industrial production of bioethanol satisfying each problem constraints

متن کاملProcess optimization for ethanol production from very high gravity (VHG) finger millet medium using response surface methodology
The Box-Wilson central composite design (CCD) based on response surface methodology (RSM) was used for ethanol fermentation using very high gravity (VHG) finger millet hydrolysate. Optimized process variables were namely, concentrations of yeast extract, magnesium sulphate and pH of the medium. High gravity mashes (>300 g dissolved solids per liter) were prepared by a thermo-stable α-amylase, f...
