EVENTS
The bioethanol production involves three steps: liquefaction,
saccharification, fermentation and distillation. VAPEUR
EAU FROIDE 12

The reactors loaded with reagents are heated by means of the 10
double envelope. 9

The stirring systems ensure the homogeneity of the mixture
and promotes heat transfer to the wall.

The vapors rise 8 in column 10 are then condensed into 11. A 2 5
reflux head allows you to choose to work at total reflux or total
withdrawal. The condensate is cooled.

The touch screen allows one to record pH and temperatures in AIR COMPRIME AIR COMPRIME
order to study their influences on the process.
