Ethanol Distillation of Saline Wastewater from Biopharmaceutical Production

Ethanol Distillation of Saline Wastewater from Biopharmaceutical Production

● Industry: Biopharmaceuticals

● The feed liquor has an ethanol concentration of 20-25% and contains 0.5% sodium chloride, and it is necessary to recover 93% of the ethanol.

● Evaporation medium: Ethanol

Runner-up Plan: MVR-1500

● Distillation column, falling-film reboiler, and two-stage compressor. Total equipment height: 8.5 m.

● Processing capacity: 1,500 kg/h; ethanol recovery: 500 kg

● After MVR evaporation, the ethanol content in the overhead distillate is 93%, and the ethanol content in the bottom residue is less than 0.5%.

Operating energy consumption

● The MVR operation consumes 67 kW of electricity, while the circulating pump and other pumps consume 10 kW.

● Steam consumption: 10 kg/h
