Advantages Of Bioethanol Fires From Imaginfires

Description:

Bioethanol is one of our options for alternative fuels if we are going to end our dependency on fossil fuels. There are several advantages of bioethanol that makes it use so common in bioethanol fires and more recently, in vehicles. Firstly, it is cheaper than most alternative fuels in the market right now due to government subsidies offered to the farmers that produce the raw materials and lower tax rates. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

How is bioethanol made?
  • Four steps that usually go into a bioethanol
    production
  • Fermentation
  • Fermentation is the most important part of the
    process and this is where the alcohol that can be
    combusted is produced. When the microbes go to
    work on the sugars in the starch and cellulose of
    the plant, ethanol is produced which is
    combustible and burns cleanly.
  • Distillation
  • The water from the previous process has to then
    be removed to make the ethanol usable and this
    means that it is distilled until it is about 95
    pure ethanol with a little water remaining in the
    form of water ethanol zoetrope. This little bit
    of water left makes it unsuitable for mixing with
    petrol and therefore cannot be used as fuel in
    cars but can be used for other things like bio
    ethanol fires.

  • Dehydration
  • There are two ways in which the remaining water
    is removed from the mixture. One is through the
    use of a very fine sieve that works on a
    molecular level and can remove the water. This is
    the most used method but some facilities also use
    isotropic distillation which requires that
    hydrocarbon benzene be added to the mixture to
    not only remove the water but also denature the
    ethanol so it cannot be used for recreational
    drinking (often done for tax and duty purposes).
  • Denaturing
  • In addition to land plants, bioethanol can also
    be obtained from algae and seaweed which produce
    bioethanol naturally. There are also plans for
    massive seaweed farms to be used for this just
    purpose and they should make bioethanol
    production cheaper and easier with less strain
    put on food supply which is affected at the
    moment.
