Chapters cover production processes for liquid biofuels, introducing all feasible intensification alternatives for each process, process intensification methods for the production of value-added products, the importance of detailed CFD-based studies, controllability studies, strategies for risk analysis in intensified processes, the concept of biorefinery for the co-production of biofuels/biomass derived value-added products, and the importance of process intensification in the biorefinery scheme.
Final chapters discuss how to ensure the sustainability of the intensified process and minimize the societal impact of biorefineries through various strategies, including supply chain optimization and lifecycle analysis. Each chapter is supported by industry case studies that address key aspects and impacts of intensification and optimization processes.
- Integrates basic concepts of process intensification and its application to the production of biofuels in a single resource
- Includes case studies related to modeling, safety, control, supply chain, lifecycle analysis, and the CFD of biofuel production processes
- Provides a sustainability assessment of biorefinery systems from a lifecycle perspective
Researchers and Industry professionals involved in all aspects of bioenergy, particularly those interested in cost reduction, environmental impact, and enhanced production. Environmental and agricultural scientists, chemical engineers, biochemists, biotechnologists, and economists interested in bioenergy and biofuels. Students looking for a comprehensive guide to biofuels
