Molasses is by-product of sugar industry which contain of sugar about 45-54,6%. Bioethanol from sugarcane molase is necessary to develope because it is very profitable, large supply, availability technology, and no-competion to  food.  This paper was aimed to reviews some research results and their implications on raw materials, processes, advanced environments and strategies to increas bioethanol productivity of molasses through the fermentation process engineering. In the manufacture of ethanol, fermentation is an important holding process.  In ethanol production, fermentation plays an important role.  Fermentation environments arragement such as temperature, pH, and pressure can effect on bioprocess of fermentation. Similarly, the addition of supplemental ingredients such as sugar, salt, and metal ions by appropriate type and concentration can also optimize the fermentation process. In addition to environmental arrangement and supplemental adding, strategies to improve bioethanol productivity of molasses can be accomplished by 1) the use of microbes other than Saccharomyces cerevisiae; 2) pretreatment; and 3) continuous fermentation method. The use of microbes other than Saccharomyces cerevisiae, such as Zymomonas mobilis can increase ethanol productivity up to 55.8 g / L or 27.9% of total sugar reduction.  Pretreatment can increase microbial productivity in converting sugar to ethanol, while continuous use of fermentation method can increase productivity by <span style="text-decoration: underline;">+</span> 4.75 g / L / hr.</p><p> </p>

One form of economic development efforts for waste utilization in rural communities is to utilize stem sorghum to produce food grade ethanol. Sorghum stem juice with 150 g/L of sugar concentration was fermented using conventional batch process and cell immobilization continuous process with K-carrageenan as a supporting matrix. The microorganism used was Mutated Zymomonas Mobilis to be compared with a mixture of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis, and a mixture of Mutated Zymomonas Mobilis and Pichia Stipitis. Ethanol in the broth, result of fermentation process, was separated in packed distillation column. Distilate of the column, still contain water and other impurities, was flown into molecular sieve for dehydration and activated carbon adsorption column to remove the other impurities to meet food grade ethanol specification. The packing used in distillation process was steel wool. For batch fermentation, the fermentation using a combination of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis produced the best ethanol with 12.07% of concentration, where the yield and the productivity were 63.49%, and 1.06 g/L.h, respectively. And for continuous fermentation, the best ethanol with 9.02% of concentration, where the yield and the productivity were 47.42% and 174.27 g/L.h, respectively, is obtained from fermentation using a combination of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis also. Fermentation using combination microorganism of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Stipitis produced higher concentration of ethanol, yield, and productivity than other microorganisms. Distillation, molecular sieve dehydration and adsorption process is quite successful in generating sufficient levels of ethanol with relatively low amount of impurities.

The depletion of oil reserves hasbeen increasing interest in the development of alternative renewable energysources. Cheese whey as a waste of cheese production is one of the raw materials that can be used for bioethanol production. The aim ofthis study is to conduct critical assessment of the cheese whey fermentation process by applying the basic concepts of engineering and mathematics, to investigate the characteristics of the cheese whey fermentation process into bioethanol, and to obtain the optimum design of fermenter. This is done by developing steady state model of cheese whey fermentation system into ethanol based on kinetic data from previous research and using mass balance principle.The model was then used to simulate the continuous fermentation of cheese whey for ethanol production. At steady state conditions, the fermentation process of cheese whey into bioethanol is affected by the hydraulic retention time (R). At steady state conditions, the optimum value of R obtained is 25 hours based onhigh ethanol productivity. The results of this study will be useful in the design process and control of cheese whey fermentation reactions into ethanol.The utilization of waste from cheese production (cheese whey) that contain sugars which can be fermented will provide added value to the waste while providing an alternative source of renewable energy that is needed due to energy crisis.

<p><em>A modelagem nos permite prever o comportamento do processo e, posteriormente, propor melhorias, com o objetivo de obter o máximo rendimento do produto. No Brasil, o etanol é obtido, principalmente, a partir da fermentação da sacarose, presente na cana-de-açúcar. A fermentação ocorre em bioreatores e pode ser conduzida de forma contínua. Esse trabalho tem por objetivo desenvolver e simular modelos matemáticos para um processo de fermentação real, contínuo e com cinco reatores em série. Os dados experimentais foram obtidos em uma usina autônoma, localizada no município de Linhares-ES. A empresa utiliza como matéria-prima o caldo cana-de-açúcar e a levedura Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Os modelos matemáticos foram obtidos a partir da equação do balanço de massa para cada componente de interesse no reator. A integração numérica do sistema de EDOs é realizada pelo método de Runge-Kutta de 4ª ordem. O problema de otimização não linear, utilizado para encontrar os valores dos parâmetros cinéticos, é resolvido utilizando o método de otimização Simplex Nelder-Mead, implementado no software Matlab®. A concentração dos componentes no reator não foi constante, mesmo se tratando de um processo contínuo, porque o mesmo não opera no estado estacionário. Os modelos que consideraram a inibição por produto apresentaram um melhor desempenho em representar o processo de fermentação quando comparados aos modelos sem inibição. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>ABSTRACT</em></p><p><em></em><em>The modeling allows us to predict the behavior of the process and then to propose improvements, with objective to obtain the maximum yield of the product. In Brazil ethanol is mainly obtained from the fermentation of sucrose, present in the sugarcane. Fermentation occurs in bioreactors and can be conducted continuously.

The experimental data were obtained in an autonomous plant, located in the Linhares-ES. The company uses as raw material sugarcane juice and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast. The mathematical models were obtained from the equation of mass balance for each component of interest in the reactor. The numerical integration of the ODE system is performed by the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The nonlinear optimization problem, used to find the kinetic parameter values, is solved using the Nelder-Mead Simplex optimization method implemented in Matlab® software. The concentration of the components in the reactor wasn’t constant, even if it is a continuous process, because it doesn’t operate at steady state. The models that considers the inhibition by product, presented a better performance, in representing the fermentation process, when compared with the models without inhibition.</em></p>
