Dehydration of Ethanol
Chemat, renowned for pioneering process engineering solutions, has successfully commissioned a cutting-edge ethanol dehydration facility boasting a remarkable throughput of 2500 dm3/h of 100% anhydrous product. This latest project was delivered to Podlaskie Distilleries Surwin, a longstanding leader in the biofuels market based in Suchowola.
The newly implemented system features advanced automation, ensuring optimal operational efficiency with minimal energy consumption per unit of ethanol production. At the heart of this installation lies the use of 3A molecular sieves, renowned for their hygroscopic properties. These sieves selectively adsorb water molecules while allowing ethanol to pass through due to the crystal structure and pore size specificity. This reversible process enables cyclic regeneration of the sieves, thereby enhancing sustainability and reducing operational costs over time.
Moreover, the integration of a comprehensive automation system has significantly lowered maintenance costs, making the facility economically viable in the long term. The closed-loop cooling system employed ensures environmental compatibility, aligning seamlessly with Closed-Loop Economy principles.
Crucially, this ethanol dehydration installation operates independently from the agricultural distillery setup, accommodating external raw material inputs. The end product, high-quality bioethanol fuel, meets stringent market standards, positioning Podlaskie Distilleries Surwin as a frontrunner in sustainable ethanol production.
