Biofuels
Fuels from renewable sources
As a consequence of the never-ending increase of energy demand all over the world, it becomes necessary to increase fuel production from renewable sources.
Bioethanol is an alcohol produced from corn, sorghum, potatoes, wheat, sugar cane, and even biomass, such as corn stems and vegetable waste. Mixed with gasoline, it increases the octane number while it promotes a better combustion, reducing the contaminant emissions from exhaust, such as carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.
Biodiesel is a fuel created from vegetable oils or animal oils, apt as a partial or total substitute of gasoil in diesel motors. Biodiesel is easy to use, biodegradable, non toxic and also has no sulfur or aromatic compounds.
At Ayesa we specialize in:
- Studies of existing technologies selection for manufacturing bioethanol from cereals.
- Studies of energetic integration with cogeneration plant.
- Study of existing technologies selection for manufacturing biodiesel and glycerin from raw vegetable oils.
- Basic projects of biodiesel and bioethanol plants.
- Detail design of the biodiesel production process.
