Abstract

Currently there is an increase in the demand for fuel ethanol consumption, especially due to the variation of the price of petroeum in the international market and the renewable character of this energy source. The aim of this work is to increase the ethanol production from the re-sizing of the fermentation cooling system of an industrial plant. The implemented modifications generated an increase in plant productivity measured by the amount of sugarcane destined for ethanol production, which doubled in relation to the previous harvest, the quantity of wine produced that was 36% higher, the increase of 0.9% in quantity of total reducing sugars (ART) present in the food, which increased by 6% the alcoholic content of the wine, giving a 52% higher production in the studied period, maintaining the fermentation temperature in the optimum range of yeast. Energy balance, Alcoholic fermentation, Plate heat exchangers (ProQuest: ... denotes formulae omitted.) 1 INTRODUÇAO O Brasil ocupa uma posiçao de destaque em relaçao a produçao de cana-de-açûcar, ocupando a primeira posiçao no mundo com cerca de 633,26 milhöes de toneladas colhidas na safra 2017/2018, número ainda 3,6% inferior ao da safra 2016/2017.
