Technologies/Solutions:
The production of alcohols, and especially the production of ethanol by fermentation, often requires additional processing to meet USP or FCC grade requirements. Although ethanol and carbon dioxide are the main products of the ethanol fermentation process, volatile by-products such as aldehydes, acids, esters, and fusels are also formed and can negatively impact ethanol quality. These byproducts can be reduced by processing through granular activated carbon media.
Activated carbon is especially effective at removing higher molecular weight volatile byproducts which are passed into the distilled ethanol, but can be used to remove various undesirable compounds from ethanol solutions. Calgon Carbon recommends our service fleet of stainless steel adsorber vessels for ethanol processing, but other industrial adsorber vessels can be considered depending on the alcohol composition, process conditions, and treatment objectives.
Some resources are available below for the activated carbon and equipment products commonly used in alcohol purification application. However, you can use the Contact Us section above to contact your local Sales Representative and discuss the specifics of your process.
