Abstract
This paper aimed to evaluate the technical requirements of mass,energy and equipment in order to create a mixed cassava mill that produces both ethanol and starch from the cassava root much like a modern sugar cane mill produces both ethanol and sugar. In order to properly create a parallel between modern Brazilian sugar cane mills and the proposed cassava mill, a complete characterization of the cassava plant residue as possible solid fuel source for the industrial process was made. Also, as the mill would be considered a complete and mid scale biorefinery, an estimate was calculated for the probable electric energy by-product that would in turn be sold to the national market.
