BSM
The BSM (Monoethylene Glycol-Based Dehydration) process for Ethanol dehydration represents an innovative approach that utilizes extractive distillation with Monoethylene Glycol, taking advantage of water's high affinity for glycol. This method is based on glycol's ability to reduce the volatility of water, thereby facilitating the release of anhydrous ethanol in the vapor phase.
This process offers several notable advantages:
NON-VOLATILE AND NON-FLAMMABLE DEHYDRATING AGENT: The dehydrating agent used, Monoethylene Glycol, is not only non-volatile but also non-flammable, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
REDUCED CONSUMPTION: BSM stands out for significantly reduced consumption of steam, water, and dehydrating agent. This efficiency in resource use contributes to the operational and economic sustainability of the process.
OPERATIONAL ROBUSTNESS: A distinctive feature is its insensitivity to small variations in the alcohol content of the feed product to the equipment. This operational robustness provides stability to the process, even in the face of fluctuations in input conditions.
In addition to these fundamental advantages, the BSM approach represents an innovative solution for Ethanol dehydration, optimizing not only process efficiency but also operational safety and environmental sustainability. The use of Monoethylene Glycol as a dehydrating agent reinforces the commitment to safety, while reduced resource consumption highlights the economic efficiency of the system.
