Abstract
This work presents an energy optimization study in a distillation and dehydration unit of a conventional ethanol producing bio refinery, based on the Pinch method. This proposal resulted in savings of 69.2% in operational costs with utilities, just with energy integration, turning the process significantly cheaper.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering is a scientific interdisciplinary, application-oriented publication that offer to the researchers and to the PhD students the possibility to disseminate their novel and original scientific and research contributions in the field of electrical and electronics engineering. The articles are reviewed by professionals and the selection of the papers is based only on the quality of their content and following the next criteria: the papers presents the research results of the authors, the papers / the content of the papers have not been submitted or published elsewhere, the paper must be written in English, as well as the fact that the papers should include in the reference list papers already published in recent years in the Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering that present similar research results. The topics and instructions for authors of this journal can be found to the appropiate sections.
