Abstract
Savio Rogerio De Siqueira Magalhaes, Yan Patrick Costa Das Neves and Orientor Diniz Alves De Santana Silva
This work presents an energy optimization study in a distillation and dehydration unit of a conventional ethanol producing bio refinery, based on the Pinch method. This proposal resulted in savings of 69.2% in operational costs with utilities, just with energy integration, turning the process significantly cheaper.
