Fermentation alcohol: better to convert to fuel

Journal Article · · Hydrocarbon Process.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5894360
Production of gasoline from fermentative ethanol offers many advantages over distillation to alcohol and blending to gasohol. A 70% process energy saving is possible and a superior liquid fuel is produced. The conversion of ethanol to gasoline was demonstrated under a wide variety of process conditions and the results were verified by pilot-plant tests.
