Biorefineries and Chemical Processes

As the range of feedstocks, process technologies and products expand, biorefineries will become increasingly complex manufacturing systems. This book presents process modelling and integration, and whole system life cycle analysis tools for the synthesis, design, operation and sustainable development of biorefinery and chemical processes.
Topics covered include an introduction to the concept and development of biorefineries, tools, a look into biorefinery systems as well as four case studies, additional exercises and examples. This textbook is designed to bridge a gap between engineering design and sustainability assessment, for advanced students and practicing process designers and engineers.
