ETHANOL DISTILLATION WITH DISTILLERS SOLUBLE SOLIDS RECOVERY APPARATUS

摘要

A system for producing ethanol from an organic source that operates to purify and dry ethanol from a beer source. The system for producing substantially anhydrous ethanol includes: (a) a first distillation stripping column (11) that operates between 160 to 220 degrees F; (b) a second distillation rectifying column (15) having a higher operating temperature than said stripping column; (c) a molecular sieve dehydration device (21) in fluid communication with said rectifying column; and (d) an energy control element.
