Problem StatementOur project is to design a process for the
production of fuel grade ethanol from unconventional sources.
• Design a production process using chemical engineering principles and HYSYS simulations.
• Using ASTM specifications for automobile fuel grade ethanol.
• From a resource that would not take up food production resources and or hurt the environment.
