Bio Ethanol

* Bioethanol manufacture process:

Plants containing sucrose (beet, cane sugar ...) or starch (wheat, corn ...) can be processed to yield ethanol obtained by fermentation of sugar extracted from sugar plant or enzymatic hydrolysis of starch content in cereals. These enzymes, cellulases, break the chains of complex carbohydrates into fermentable sugars. The second step is the fermentation of these sugars are broken down as alcohols. This alcohol is a clean fuel. Its combustion does not emit smoke. It is therefore quite used to power a home without a chimney. Generally referred to as die "sugar" to describe this chain of production of bioethanol.

Bio-ethanol used for vehicles does not agree to the fireplaces because it is 85% (15% denaturant) instead of 94% (6% denaturant) and even 96% (4% of denaturant, the which is preferable). Normally, less than two liters of bioethanol, enough to feed + or 4 hours (depending on the type of burner), a fireplace for heating a room of 40 m2.


* Ethanol liquid or ethanol in gel:

We can already say that the gel tends to leave residues (without consequences unless the upkeep) after use, unlike the liquid ethanol. However, the gel (for the same quantity) lasts longer.

Furthermore, it may be more appropriate to use the ethanol in gel, instead of liquid ethanol. If by chance this were to be overturned, the gel is spread less than the liquid.
