Engineering Chemical Engineering Pervaporation ASPEN Ethanol Water Azeotrope Heat integration Mathematical model Bio-ethanol production is a rapidly growing market due to the possible uses of the anhydrous product in energy generation. This production however, is weighed down by the energetic demands and the environmental effects of the dehydration step needed due to the azeotrope formed by ethanol and water.This work studies the formulation and use of a pervaporation module to assess the production of fuel-grade bio-ethanol in distillery installations complementing a sugar mill. Multiple membrane materials are compared by studying the effects of structural and parametric changes on the separation performance.The user-defined module is integrated in commercial process simulators to study the environmental and energetic impact of different process configurations. Different schemes meeting equivalent performance standards in terms of purity and recovery are examined in this work. Particular attention is given to energetic demands as comparison metrics. A zeolite membrane designed for separating a water/ethanol mixture was fond to be the most suitable material while a process featuring multiple membrane modules positioned in series offers lower vacuum requirements while maintaining low energetic needs. 2015-05-28 English text Cleveland State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1432111781 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=csu1432111781 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
