In-Depth Information
experience of bioethanol production from crop produce; the comparative analysis was
used in the process of analyzing the statistical information; the economic-mathemat-
ical modeling was used to develop a polynomial model, which describes the level of
sugar beet productivity in Ukraine; the monographic method helped to substantiate the
necessity of diversification of the products of sugar beet industry, and induction and
deduction facilitated the summarizing of the results of the research; an abstract logic
method was applied to make conclusions and proposals.
22.3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Bioethanol production is possible at the ethyl and sugar factories reequipped for this
production. The manufacture in several areas is possible at sugar processing factories,
namely the workshop producing ethanol is mounted—the plant produces sugar by the
traditional technology, and it manufactures bioethanol using the products of sweet root
processing, or only the bioethanol production from sugar beet (crude juice) is planned.
In addition, the bioethanol production is possible when starch crops such as wheat and
corn are used; the products of their processing are used for human nutrition.
Over the past 12 years, sugar beet, wheat, and corn production had undergone
signifi cant changes for the betterment in Ukraine (Table 22.1) [11].
