Continuous Bioethanol Production Using Uncontrolled Process in a Laboratory Scale of Integrated Aerobic-Anaerobic Baffled Reactor

The expensiveness of bioethanol has made it unattractive and uncompetitive for alternative energy sources. Therefore, several ways to reduce the production cost of bioethanol become interesting topics, e.g. increasing its productivity. This research investigated the performance sensitivity of a labo...
