Process Synthesis for Fuel Ethanol Production is written by C.A. Cardona and published by CRC Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1040064671 (ISBN 10) and 9781040064672 (ISBN 13).

This book is a comprehensive guide to the design and analysis of the most advanced technologies for fuel ethanol production from feedstocks. It describes how process systems engineering can be applied to fuel ethanol production to achieve new levels of efficiency according to technical, economic, and environmental criteria. The authors cover liquid biofuels; various types of feedstocks, including sugars, starchy crops, lignocellulosic biomass, and microorganisms; and hydrolysis technologies, such as saccharification. They also address new technological innovations based on process integration to reduce energy consumption and the environmental issues of bioethanol production.
