Key features
Our distillation-membrane hybrid process system with heat integration for bioethanol rectification and dehydration offers you low life-cycle costs and a short payback time. Sulzer has extensive experience in the following fields:
- Mash / beer column (heavy fouling applications) and rectifier for bioethanol distillation process
- Dehydration of bioethanol by pervaporation / vapor permeation, heat integrated with the overall process
- Membrane filtration (MF/UF/NF) before fermentation
- Liquid-liquid extraction for strong acid hydrolysis route
- Biodiesel: fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) drying, methanol recovery, glycerine drying, glycerine purification
- Free fatty acid removal from edible oil
- Distillation, crystallization and film evaporation technologies for biorefining processes, including production and purification of lactic and succinic acid
