GLOBAL PRODUCTION &

UTILISATION OF BIO-ETHANOL FUEL.

SAMPAT GHUGE
 INTRODUCTION:

 BIO-FUELS ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE THEY

REPLACE PETROLEUM-FUELS.
 BIO-ETHANOL BY FAR THE MOST WIDELY USED
FOR TRANSPORTATION WORLD WIDE .
 PRODUCTION OF BIOEHTANOL FROM
BIOMASS IS ONE WAY TO REDUCE BOTH
CONSUMPTION OF CRUDE OIL AND
ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION.
 USE OF ETHANOL IN THE WORLD
BRAZIL IS THE LARGEST USER OF ETHANOL AS
FUEL.
AROUND 20% OF THE BRAZILIAN CARS
CURRENTLY OPERATE ON 100% ETHANOL .
U.S.A IS THE SECOND LARGEST COUNTRY TO
PRODUCE ETHANOL AS A BIO-FUEL FOLLOWED BY
CHINA.
 PROPERTIES OF ETHANOL:
ITS OCTANE NO. IS 108.IT SHOWS STRONG
RESISTANT TO KNOCK AND CONSEQUENTLY THE
ABILITY TO OPTIMIZE THE ENGINE.
ITS DENSITY IS CLOSE TO THE
GASOLINE(794Kg/m^3)
HIGH FLAME SPEED THERFORE HIGH
COMPRESSION RATIO(9.5)
HIGH LATENT HEAT OF VAPOURISATION(854KJ/Kg)
ENABLING COOLING EFFECT.
 BIO-ETHANOL PATHWAYS FROM DIFFERENT RAW
MATERIALS

 SUGARCANE  FERMENTATION
 CORN GRAIN  FERMANTATION
 WHEAT MALTING+
 WOOD  FERMENTATION
 STRAW  ACID HYDROLYSIS+

ETHANOL
 PRIOR MODIFICATIONS IN
ENGINE.
INCREASE IN ENGINE COMPRESSION RATIO
9.5 -12.5
MODIFICATION IN FUEL SYSTEM.
MODIFICATION OF CYLINDER HEAD.
 UTILISATION OF BIO -ETHANOL
IN U.S.A 90% GASOLINE &10% ETHANOL.
BRAZIL 85%OF ETHANOL & 15% GASOLINE.
INDIA 78% GASOLINE& 22% ETHANOL.
CHINA 76% GASOLINE& 24% ETHANOL.
 LIMITATIONS ON BIO-ETHANOL
PRODUCTION.
HEATING VALUE IS LESS COMPARED TO
GASOLINE.
BIO-ETHANOL GENERALLY UTILIZE DERIVATIES
FROM FOOD,CROPS SUCH AS CORN GRAIN&
SUGARCANE BUT THE LIMITED THE SUPPLY OF THE
CROPS CAN LED TO COMPETITION BETWEEN THE
USE IN BIO- ETHANOL PRODUCTION & FOOD
PROVISION.
