The objective of this research was to
perform a process simulation for the production of DMF
from rice straw and to analyze the process engineering
aspects such as equipment type and catalysts to be used for
the production of DMF from HMF. Furthermore, an
economic analysis and an energy analysis were carried out
for the plant. Eventually, energy indicators were calculated
to showcase the economic feasibility of the plant.
