Exploring the possibilities of using cassava ethanol waste streams for biogas production. Two options are assessed: biogas from ethanol stillage and biogas from root cake (cassava pulp).
Cassava stands out as a formidable candidate for ethanol production, boasting international technological prowess and stellar performance across processing stages. The optimal conditions for cassava yield the highest ethanol production among major crops, reaching up to 6 tonnes per hectare. Beyond its impressive output, cassava ethanol plants necessitate less intricate processing equipment, translating to more […]
Cassava, also known as manioc, is a resilient tropical root crop thriving in savannah climates. Adaptable to diverse rainfall conditions (1000-2000 mm/a), cassava displays remarkable resilience by shedding leaves in dry spells and swiftly regenerating upon rainfall. The growth period ranges from 8 to 18 months, depending on environmental factors. Growing Conditions and Varieties Cassava […]
The main industrial uses of fresh cassava roots are for the production of chips, pellets, and starch. Recently, cassava has started to be used for bio-ethanol production too.
