Holistic Energy and Resource Integration for Distilling
People Involved
Project Description
Traditionally energy balance in distilling has focused around process function or operation. The intention of this study is to develop a holistic approach; which includes aspects such as availability and redundancy of energy producing and absorbing equipment in batch operations using a site-wide energy balance approach, which can be simply modelled so that it can be used to inform other small-scale distillers.
The application and adaption of new still technologies and process optimisation across the broader operations on-site will be assessed as part of this study.
