A process for dehydration of a water rich stream, the process comprising providing a process stream to a first temperature controlled adsorber that is undergoing adsorption, where the first temperature controlled adsorber has one or more adsorption flow passages containing an adsorptive material coating and one or more heat transfer flow passages and producing a dehydrated effluent stream. The process stream is passed through the one or more adsorption flow passages, where water is adsorbed by the adsorptive material coating, and a heat of adsorption is generated. The heat of adsorption is removed by passing a cooling fluid through the one or more heat transfer flow passages. The process stream can be a process stream for producing motor fuel grade ethanol.
