V. Gernaey, Gürkan SinRecent
research into biorefineries resulted in many competing concepts
and technologies for conversion of renewable biobased feedstock into
an array of promising products including fuels, chemicals, materials,
etc. The topic of this study is collection and management of the complex
biorefinery data that are needed among others to support the superstructure-based
optimization studies. To this end, we first formulate an integrated
thermochemical and biochemical biorefinery superstructure and then
use a generic modeling approach to represent each processing technology
in the superstructure. The generic model parameters includes reaction
yield, utility consumption, and separation efficiency among others,
which are identified on the basis of input–output data (generated
from rigorous models) collected from detailed biorefinery case studies
reported in the open literature. The outcome is a verified database
for the extended biorefinery networks combining thermochemical and
biochemical platforms that represents 2882 potential biorefinery routes.
The validated biorefinery database is made public and can be used
to cross-validate and benchmark new biorefinery technologies and concepts
as well as in superstructure-based optimization studies.
