Stand Alone Systems Self-contained systems can take liquid feed and perform the dehydration independently from the ethanol plant. The permeate is either processed in the stand alone system or returned to the ethanol plant. Integrated Dehydration Systems These systems are connected to the vapour outlet of the rectification column of the raw ethanol plant. The rectifier only needs to concentrate to min 80 w% ethanol and may operate at reduced reflux. The permeate is recycled to the distillation. Integrated Systems provide lowest investment costs, best heat integration and lowest energy consumption...
