Leeruitkomsten

The student who successfully completes this course will be able to:
  • Demonstrate knowledge of the various types of biofuels and their capabilities/suitability to particular mobility applications and engines;
  • Demonstrate understanding of end-use specifications (including purity, storage) for biofuels and how these relate to the processing of the biofuels from raw materials;
  • Perform material and energy balances over sub-processes and processes involved in a bio-refinery using Aspen Plus;
  • Model a biofuel production plant using Aspen Plus and calculate energy conversion efficiencies (and other relevant factors);
  • Evaluate the business case of a modeled production facility which meets appropriate specifications for the produced bio-fuel.

 

Inhoud

The course is ultimately evaluated by means of a report evaluating the model and business case of a biofuel production facility or (whole) bio-refinery unit modeled by the student in Aspen Plus. The report should include a background on the biofuel produced and it’s (most significant) mobility application(s), the relevant end-use specifications of the product, the results of the model (including relevant material and energy balances), and a detailed economic evaluation of the model including a Discounted Cash Flow Rate of Return and determination of the break-even point.
