Problem StatementOur project is to design a process for the
production of fuel grade ethanol from unconventional sources.
• Design a production process using chemical engineering principles and HYSYS simulations.
• Using ASTM specifications for automobile fuel grade ethanol.
• From a resource that would not take up food production resources and or hurt the environment.

Fuel Sources• Cornstalks
• Switch Grass
• Algae
Project Overview --- Fuel Sources --- Design Norms --- Conclusion
Design Norms• Stewardship
• Transparency
• Justice
Project Overview --- Fuel Sources --- Design Norms --- Conclusion
ConclusionCurrently we are leaning toward algae assuming
we are able to get permission to use it.
