The entire process of producing biofuels can be demonstrated with leXsolar-BioFuel Large. It starts with the biological
step of alcoholic fermentation. Afterwards the produced mash will be distilled with the help of the leXsolar-condenser, which was developed just for this experiment. The last step demonstrates the conversion of the produced biofuel into usable energy, such as electrical energy, using the provided Ethanol-fuel cell.
leXsolar-BioFuel Large does not only cover the topic of the production
of bioethanol, but also the production of biodiesel through
transesterification of fats.

Part 1: Biodiesel production
Transesterification from fat to Biodiesel (FAME)
Determination of fat parameters
Extraction of fats from foods and oil plants

Part 2: Alcohol fermentation
Production of a mash/ alcoholic fermentation
Fermentation of different sugar types
(including catalytic splitting of starch)
Proof of fermentation gases

Part 3: Distillation and production of Bioethano
Distillation of mash
Characteristics of the produced Ethano

Part 4: Ethanol fuels
Introduction Ethanol fuel cell
I-V curve of Ethanol fuel cells
Dependency of Ethanol fuel cells on concentration and temperature
Energy balance of the whole process
