Felipe Furlan is Associate Professor of the Chemical Engineering Department of the Federal University of São Carlos, where he works since 2016. His PhD in Chemical Engineering was at Federal University of São Carlos (2009). His research activities focus on the modeling, simulation, optimization and technical-economic analysis of processes. His is interested in several industrial processes, sucha as biofuel production (with emphasis on bioethanol from biomass), lead-acid battery production, among others. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

In recent decades, biofuels have emerged as alternatives to fossil fuels, with the aim of mitigating global challenges related to energy security and greenhouse gas emissions. In Brazil, the compulsory blending of anhydrous ethanol into gasoline has considerably boosted the production and use of this biofuel, helping to reduce emissions. Despite the environmental advantages, ethanol produ…
Distillation is one of the main unit operations in the chemical industry, despite having high energy consumption. Therefore, optimizing the design and operation of distillation columns is essential for the energy efficiency of plants. Achieving this goal requires models that accurately describe the behavior of these equipment. General models of steady-state operation are widely applied to…
The sugar-energy sector is extremely important for the Brazilian economy and society. Brazil has the largest sugarcane and sugar production in the world and the second-largest ethanol production. Sugarcane mills produce ethanol and sugar from sugarcane, while the energy demand of the process is met by burning sugarcane bagasse in cogeneration systems (i.e., systems that produce process st…
Bioprocess Systems Engineering (BSE) may be an important tool for the development of processes for production of ethanol from lignocellulosic materials. Such processes are very complex, due to the number of routes that have to be assessed, since this is still a non-consolidated technology.The complexity of the substrate and reactions involved also contribute to the difficulty of the probl…
