Effect of Market Price Uncertainties on the Design of Optimal Biorefinery Systems—A Systematic Approach

Abstract: This paper presents the development of a computer-aided decision support tool for identifying optimal biorefinery concepts for production of biofuels at an early design stage. To this end, a framework that uses a superstructure-based process synthesis approach integrated with uncertainty analysis is used. We demonstrate the application of the tool for generating optimal biorefinery concepts for a lignocellulosic biorefinery. In particular, we highlight the management of various sources of data, the superstruct… Show more

“…In earlier studies, the superstructure-based optimization methodology developed in our group 3 has been used to perform techno-economic performance and economic risk analysis under market price uncertainties on lignocellulosic and algae biorefi nery concepts to identify their optimal processing paths. Th ese biorefi nery concepts and their optimal solutions are summarized in Table 1.…”

“…Th is section presents the comparison of MSP for two optimal transportation fuels production concepts: (i) gasoline and diesel production from poplar wood using gasifi cation and Fischer-Tropsch (Concept 2A); 3,8 and, (ii) biodiesel production from microalgae using liquefaction and transesterifi cation (Concept 2B 5,11 ). As shown in Fig.…”
