Title: | Techno-economic Assessment Methodology for Ultrasonic Production of Biofuels | Authors: | VAN DAEL, Miet KUPPENS, Tom LIZIN, Sebastien VAN PASSEL, Steven |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Springer | Source: | Fang, Zhen; L. Smith jr, Richard; Qi, Xinhua (Ed.). Production of Biofuels and Chemicals with Ultrasound, p. 317-345 | Series/Report: | Biofuels and Biorefineries | Series/Report no.: | 4 | Abstract: | Many market introductions fail due to economic reasons and not because of process performance. A techno-economic assessment (TEA) tool can help in making good choices during process development and raise the success rate of market introduction. In this chapter, the advantages of performing a TEA in early development stage of an innovative technology are highlighted. Seeing the current state of ultrasound technology, a TEA can help to steer further research into the most interesting pathway. The chapter, therefore, elaborates on the methodology that can be used to perform such a TEA and on the specific components which should be taken into account when applying a TEA on the ultrasonic production of biofuels and chemicals. Finally, a review is provided on the existing scientific literature concerning the economic performance of ultrasound technology. | Keywords: | techno-economic assessment; cost-benefit analysis; mass balance; energy balance; biofuels; ultrasound | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/17929 | ISBN: | 978-94-017-9623-1 | DOI: | 10.1007/978-94-017-9624-8_12 | Rights: | © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015. | Category: | B2 | Type: | Book Section | Validations: | vabb 2016 |
