Effect of raw material structural composition on the fermentation process of ethanol production
Ethanol is becoming the important renewable energy sources in the world which produces from carbohydrate resources. The raw material selection is the important procedure for real industrial production. The effect of biomass structural composition in feedstock on ethanol production is therefore neede...

| description | Ethanol is becoming the important renewable energy sources in the world which produces from carbohydrate resources. The raw material selection is the important procedure for real industrial production. The effect of biomass structural composition in feedstock on ethanol production is therefore needed to explore for feedstock selection. According to the previous research studies, the fermentation process includes pre-treatment and fermentation of sugar to ethanol. This study focuses on the simulation of raw material variation in ethanol production especially the structural composition of carbohydrate that contains three main components, cellulose, xylan, and lignin, in the fermentation section. The simulation model is validated by the data of previous study information with small deviation. The mixture design method is used for result interpretation and analysis. From the design of experiment, there are 14 scenarios and the selected response parameter is the mass fraction of ethanol in outlet stream of fermentation section. From the results, the maximum mass fraction of ethanol in outlet stream is in the scenario which has a large amount of cellulose and xylan fractions. This is because the conversion of reaction in the fermentation reactor mostly consumes cellulose and xylan to produce glucose and xylose, respectively, and converts them into ethanol product. From the overall result of this study, the important of raw material selection in ethanol production is illustrated. |
