Most of the operations in an autonomous distillery for production of ethanol are carried on in a continuous fashion. The fermentation stage, however, may be projected to work either continously or semicontinuously. The steady-sate continuous operation (after the start-up) may be easily coupled to other unit operations of the process. On the other hand, in the semicountinuous operation, each fermentation vat operates in unsteady state, thus it is necessary to design a set of vats that enables the coupling between the fermentation and the process, which may be challenging. This study intended to implement mathematical models in EMSO process simulator of both industrial configurations of the fermentation process: a system of six parallel fed-b...
