Process Synthesis for Fuel Ethanol Production

Process Synthesis for Fuel Ethanol Production

Process engineering can potentially provide the means to develop economically viable and environmentally friendly technologies for the production of fuel ethanol. Focusing on a key tool of process engineering 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. 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.

Distillers Grains Production Properties and Utilization

Distillers Grains Production Properties and Utilization

In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in grain-based fuel ethanol production in North America and around the world. Whether such production will result in a net energy gain or whether this is sustainable in the long term is under debate but undoubtedly millions of tons of non-fermented residues are now produced annually for global trade in the form of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). Consequently in a short period of time a tremendous amount of research has been conducted to determine the suitability of ethanol coproducts for various end uses. Distillers Grains: Production Properties and Utilization is the first book of its kind to provide in-depth and up-to-date coverage ofHistorical and current status of the fuel ethanol industry in the U. S. Processing methods scientific principles and innovations for making fuel ethanol using grains as feedstockPhysical and chemical properties of DDGS assay methodologies for compositional analyses and mycotoxin occurrence in DDGSChanges during processing (from grains to DDGS) and analysis of factors causing variations in compositional nutritional and physical valuesVarious traditional new and emerging uses for DDGS (including feed for cattle swine poultry fish and other animals feedstocks for cellulosic ethanol biodiesel and other bioenergy production and substrates for food and industrial uses)Appealing to all who have an interest in fuel ethanol production distillers grains and their uses this comprehensive reference sharpens the readers’ understanding of distillers grains and will promote better utilization of ethanol coproducts.

Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide

In the courtroom critical and life-changing decisions are made based on quantitative forensic science data. There is often a range in which a measured value is expected to fall and in this an inherent uncertainty associated with such measurement. Uncertainty in this context is not error. In fact estimations of uncertainty can add to the utility and reliability of quantitative results be it the length of a firearm barrel the weight of a drug sample or the concentration of ethanol in blood. Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science: A Practical Guide describes and defines the concepts related to such uncertainty in the forensic context. The book provides the necessary conceptual background and framework a baseline for developing and deploying reasonable and defensible uncertainty estimations across forensic disciplines. Information is presented conceptually using easily understood examples to provide a readable handy reference for scientists in the laboratory as well as investigators and legal professionals who require a basic understanding of the science underpinning measurement results. | Measurement Uncertainty in Forensic Science A Practical Guide
