Techno-economic assessment of bioethanol production from wheat straw: a case study of Iran
, Article Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy ; 2017 , Pages 1-21 ; 1618954X (ISSN) ; Khajeh Talkhoncheh, M ; Karimi Alavijeh, M ; Sharif University of Technology
Abstract
A process of ethanol production from wheat straw in Iran was simulated using SuperPro Designer. Wheat is the main cereal crop in Iran. Khuzestan Province was selected as a potential location for the construction of plant. A method was developed to estimate the plant capacity. The base plant size in Khuzestan was estimated to be 316 t day−1. The effect of plant size, logistics of residue collection, wheat yield, and agreements with local farmers on the profitability was calculated, and the minimum selling price was determined for different scenarios. In addition, the sensitivity analysis and economic risk assessment were conducted. The operating cost was mainly sensitive to the wheat straw...
