Synopsis According to V. Daniel Hunt, ethanol (alcohol) produced from agricultural feed stocks has become one of our most promising options for producing synthetic fuels--most notably gasohol, a blend of 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline. The Gasohol (Ethanol) Handbook provides the first contemporary, comprehensive collection and synthesis of ethanol as gasohol information. In a thorough, conservative manner, The Gasohol Handbook (Ethanol Fuel Handbook) explores the potential of this remarkable, renewable energy resource. Description Thirteen chapters provide authoritative information on all aspects of gasohol (ethanol) production. Beginning with a succinct overview of major issues affecting the gasohol industry, The Gasohol Handbook continues with in-depth discussions of basic production processes, specific plant design criteria, costing data, environmental and safety issues, production processes, and available feed stocks. As a practical, applications-oriented guide, The Gasohol Handbook also reviews issues the entrepreneur must face before investing in the gasohol / ethanol industry; the market potential for gasohol /ethanol; and a business plan and feasibility analysis for fermentation ethanol production. In addition, a full description of the economics of ethanol production is provided for small -, intermediate -, and large - scale systems. Also included is a ten-step guide to carburetor modification to enable automobiles to run on 100% ethanol. A final chapter reviews case histories of synthetic petroleum fuel production in Brazil-one of the international leaders in developing alcohol-fueled transportation systems. Benefits The Gasohol Handbook is much more than a reference source for the energy industry--it is a user-oriented guide to the development of the reader's own gasohol production capability. Energy engineers, entrepreneurs, investors, inventors, technicians, farmers, solar energy advocates, scientists, business executives, researchers, conservationists and students will greatly benefit from this long-needed compendium of data on gasohol and ethanol production and use.
