The power generation system of the Brazilian sugar and ethanol industry has been showing a very slow technological growth, compared to high efficiency power generating plants. The maximum values of steam pressure and temperature in Brazilian sugar and alcohol industry are 10MPa and 530oC respectively, with shy regenerator uses (water - steam heat exchanger) and radiators (air - steam heat…
In the last few years, several R&D institutes, as well as private sector initiatives, have focused on the development of technological solutions aiming to increase the efficiency and sustainability (economic, environmental and social) of the production process of sugar, ethanol and bioelectricity from sugarcane. Moreover, it is clear that understanding and optimizing the 1st Generatio…

The ethanol industry has an undeniable importance in the Brazilian economy, particularly in the South-Central States. There is still a wide field of research in the study of the production system improvements. Furthermore, the introduction of new processes is being studied, such as the production of second generation ethanol, green plastic production, and other ones. This study aims the a…
Ethanol production tends to grow in coming years due to the great interest that many countries have been given by biofuels. In this context the production of second generation biofuels like ethanol from enzymatic hydrolysis and the production of liquid fuels by the thermochemical route are presented as an alternative of great interest in the case of use, as inputs, sugarcane bagasse surpl…
