INSTRUMENTATION AND AUTOMATION IN THE SUGARCANE ETHANOL AGROINDUSTRY

Farinas, Cristiane Sanchez ; Neto, Ladislau Martin ; Giordano, Roberto Campos

Resumo:

Despite the technological advances of the sugarcane industry in recent decades, there are still several opportunities to optimize the process and increase productivity in ethanol producing plants This is because ethanol distilleries in Brazil have given low investment priority to process control and automation. This fact could be related both to a slowdown in ethanol production in the late 1990’s as well as poor understanding of the real benefits of implementing new technologies in the production process (ATALA, 2004). With current scenarios on expanding the international ethanol market, the use of ethanol in flex fuel engines and in the processing of biodiesel, in hydrogen fuel cells and other alternative energy sources, it is expected an increase of investments in both research and implementation of new technologies, together with the automation and control of the production process (ATALA, 2004).
