“…However, a variable that impacts directly on dynamic properties and is totally measurable is the thermal coupling flow rate. In this scenarios the intensified designs C, D and E showed a thermal flow coupling rate of FL = 76.50 kg h −1 and FV = 62.47 kg h −1 ; FL = 18.38 kg h −1 and FV =40.13 kg h −1 ; FL = 118.62 Kg h −1 and FL = 118.62 Kg h −1 , respectively . In comparison, the best thermally equivalent and thermally coupled designs had thermal coupling flow rates of FL = 9.139 kg h −1 and FV = 15.050 kg h −1 , respectively; these designs, in general terms, showed worse dynamic properties than the intensified designs.…”

“…When the distillation process is considered, several hurdles must be overcome. Errico et al presented several hybrid designs containing a liquid–liquid extractive column for separating both homogenous and heterogeneous azeotropes. In addition, they reported that the designs considering thermal coupling and intensified designs exhibit promising energy savings and reductions in environmental impact.…”

“…The aim of this work was to conduct an analysis of the theoretical control properties of 10 schemes (Figs 1–4), that exhibit promising economic and environmental results. These designs were proposed by Errico et al to separate a broth produced from fermentation through hybrid fermentation using n‐hexyl acetate as extractant agent. We considered the schemes that exhibited lower energy consumption in comparison with conventional distillation schemes.…”

“…Ten hybrid designs have been considered and evaluated under open‐loop and closed‐loop control strategies (Figs ). The ten schemes are hybrid processes because a liquid–liquid extraction column is included, and all of them showed high energy savings in comparison with conventional schemes . Note that the designs were developed addressing the design problem as a retrofit design.…”

“…The acetone purity was set to 0.996 (%wt), the butanol purity to 0.995 (%wt) and the ethanol purity to 0.95 (%wt). The capital cost and environmental impact were measured through the Total Annual Cost and the eco‐indicator 99; obtained as results by Errico et al and presented in Table .…”

BACKGROUND: Butanol produced from fermentation has attracted the interest of research groups because its physicochemical properties show several enhancements over bioethanol. Recent studies have proposed alternative methods to separate and purify biobutanol from a fermentation broth. These alternatives offer energy and economic savings; in addition, a reduction in environmental impact is observed. However few studies have analyzed the control properties of the process which involves separation of an acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) mixture.

In recent years, the production and consumption of fossil jet fuel have increased as a consequence of a rise in the number of passengers and goods transported by air. Despite the low demand caused by the coronavirus 2019 pandemic, an increase in the services offered by the sector is expected again. In an economic context still dependent on scarce oil, this represents a problem. There is also a problem arising from the fuel's environmental impact throughout its life cycle. Given this, a promising solution is the use of biojet fuel as renewable aviation fuel. In a circular economy framework, the use of lignocellulosic biomass in the form of sugar‐rich crop residues allows the production of alcohols necessary to obtain biojet fuel. The tools provided by process intensification also make it possible to design a sustainable process with low environmental impact and capable of achieving energy savings. The goal of this work was to design an intensified process to produce biojet fuel from Mexican lignocellulosic biomass, with alcohols as intermediates. The process was modeled following a sequence of pretreatment/hydrolysis/fermentation/purification for the biomass‐ethanol process, and dehydration/oligomerization/hydrogenation/distillation for ethanol‐biojet process under the concept of distributed configuration. To obtain a cleaner, greener, and cheaper process, the purification zone of ethanol was intensified by employing a vapor side stream distillation column and a dividing wall column. Once designed, the entire process was optimized by employing the stochastic method of differential evolution with a tabu list to minimize the total annual cost and with the Eco‐indicator‐99 to evaluate the sustainability of the process. The results show that savings of 5.56% and a reduction of 1.72% in Eco‐indicator‐99 were achieved with a vapor side stream column in comparison with conventional distillation. On the other hand, with a dividing wall column, savings of 5.02% and reductions of 2.92% in Eco‐indicator‐99 were achieved. This process is capable of meeting a demand greater than 266 million liters of biojet fuel per year. However, the calculated sale price indicates that this biojet fuel still does not compete with conventional jet fuel produced in Mexico. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
