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.

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.
