Abstract: Modifying the cooling and control system for a BAERC Bio Ethanol Micro Distillery can significantly improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and enhance overall system reliability. The cooling and control systems are crucial in optimizing the distillation process, which involves controlling temperature and heat exchange during fermentation and distillation. The improved and tested batch system micro distillery-based ethanol production from molasses was successfully operated by firewood and produced ethanol at the alcoholic levels of 60-93%. Though the system was not operated at its full capacity, it made 10 to 12 liters from 80 to 100 liters of the substrate with various sources and brix. The average boiling point of the substrate takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes, on average, to reach the boiling point of ethanol when a wood fuel gasifier stove is used as a heat source. The micro-distillery paved the way for small-scale ethanol production from molasses and to produce clean-burning ethanol, mainly for household cook stoves. So that individual Farmers’ Youth and Women micro-enterprises can use it and make income from the technology. Additionally, if a scaled-up micro-distillery is established in a village, individual farmers can be the supply of input and make additional income out of it.

Abstract: Energy is the capacity to perform a physical system, an energy exists in several forms such as: a heat, the mechanical energy, the light, the potential energy, the electric power or some other forms. We use the fossil energy sources which has released large amounts of toxic gases, which are the causes of some diseases to human, affecting the environment and increases the greenhouse effect. Governments have many policies to clean up an environment. One of the most policies that is geared to an economy with “green energy”. In Vietnam country, the productive raw materials of the biological alcohol. The principal biodiesels include: paddies, maize, sweet potato, maniocs, sugar - canes and productive raw materials of the botanical oil are: soy beans, pea - nuts, the trees have many oils… and the physix nuts (Jatropha curcas L) - Those are the trees which make the biodiesel, too. The last time, everybody does not take care about them. We observed studied, knew that those trees have many big values, these physix nuts can place the fossil energy, this kind of oil helps to reduce their emission of “greenhouse” and specially no contained Sulfur (S), therefore very close to the environment. However, we had many methods to plant and to make the experiment about the physix nuts (Jatropha curcas L) in Loc Thanh village, Bao Lam district, Lam Dong province. By many times, we had a result about those trees which develop very well here, including mountainous areas.
