Process-Plant Design Package for CO-OP Level Production of Fuel-Grade Ethanol

摘要

The technical aspects of fuel-alcohol production and the physical aspects of fuel-alcohol production facilities are covered. The pilot plant work done in this project is reported. After initial operation of the pilot plant, major revisions were made. Both configurations of the pilot plant are described with photographs, drawings, and text. Operational data and estimated mass and energy balances are also given. The design package for a 1000 GPD fuel-alcohol process plant is presented. This section gives a general text description of the design, including operational requirements. Plant specifications and descriptions of the drawings are included. The drawings themselves are under separate cover. (ERA citation 07:046205)
