Sustainable Biodiesel: Real World Designs, Economics and Applications

Sustainable Biodiesel: Real World Designs, Economics and Applications offers a unique, integrated approach that combines cutting-edge research results and the day-to-day aspects of biodiesel production at the industrial level. The book brings together experienced academics and recognized industry experts to explore the most practical elements of research and discuss limitations and future needs in the industry. Sections discuss biodiesel-based biorefineries, feedstock supply chains, reactor technologies and processes for biodiesel production. In addition, the authors examine biodiesel plants from the point-of-view of design, operation, quality control, lifecycle costing (LCC), life cycle assessment, and environmental and exergetic sustainability, and more. This book provides both researchers and practitioners in the field of biomass and biofuels with a well-rounded understanding of how the technologies developed in the lab can be deployed in the industry at commercial scale in a sustainable and cost-efficient way. Sheds light on the real-world aspects of biodiesel production while also covering cutting-edge research results in the field Integrates design, economics and sustainability aspects, minimizing the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical expertise Includes realistic examples and case studies of applications of state-of-the-methodologies for lifecycle assessment (LCA), lifecycle impact assessment (LCIA) and lifecycle costing (LCC) INDICE: 1.
