Converting Sweet Sorghum to Ethanol - An Alternative Feedstock for Renewable Fuels
The goal of this project was to design an ethanol production process from sweet sorghum for use as a renewable fuel. Sorghum stalks are first harvested and sent through a series of 2 three-roller extractors (70% total efficiency). Extracted juice is pumped to the reactor for preservation and ferment...
