BIOFUEL AND BIOENERGY PRODUCTION FROM SUGAR BEETS
Impact/Purpose:
Design an integrated, efficient biological system that can be used to convert sugar beets into biofuel and bioenergy.
Description:
A design spreadsheet model for sizing and analyzing the integrated ethanol and biogas production system, a prototype of the ethanol and biogas production system in the laboratory that has been tested and documented with performance data, and a design and operating manual for the system.
