Objective
Objective:
use Membrane Technologies (MT) to produce low cost, renewable bio-fuels (EtOH) - have MT ready in 2007 for rapid diffusion and deployment
Method:
- replace current technology with MT - reduce cost of ethanol (EtOH) plant distillation and dehydration components 30 - 50% through requirements for distillate purity
- reduce distillation energy costs 30 - 50% through pervaporation (PV) membrane use in post-fermentation EtOH concentration & requirement for ower purity distillate in advanced dehydration
- reduce advanced dehydration costs 80% through vapour permeation (VP) membrane use & reduced EtOH losses
Deliverables:
Research and technological development will result in MT demonstration plant operating on continuous production basis in industrial setting, showing: - 50% savings in total energy costs - mid-size EtOH plant potential for reduction of 6,282 kilotonnes per year in GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions
