BIOFUEL: BIOETANOL & BIODIESEL

Bioetnaol The continuous production of bioethanol: One, two and three tank reactor designs What is bioethanol? Bioethanol is ethanol that is made from a starch- or sugar-based feedstock, such as corn and sugar cane. Why manufacture bioethanol? The energy content of ethanol is approximately two-thirds that of petrol by volume.

Ethanol contains 35% oxygen and when blended with petrol results in a more even and complete combustion of fuels reduces knocking and improves performance Reduced emissions greenhouse gas emissions reduced by up to 19%, tailpipe carbon monoxide by as much as 30% It takes only six months to harvest a substantial crop for fuel.
