  • Patent number: 12122738
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides high-grade ethanol production systems and methods that increase energy efficiency as compared to typical systems and methods by minimizing undesired acetal formation. The provided ethanol production method may include a low boilers removal distillation column and/or a stripper column constructed to simultaneously remove at least a portion of the acetaldehyde and at least a portion of the acetal from a feed stream in the presence of water. In some aspects, a low boilers removal process may be followed by a water removal process, which may be followed by a high boilers removal process. Acidity (e.g., carbon dioxide) may also be removed from a feed stream prior to or during the low boilers removal process. By minimizing acetal production, the provided method minimizes the amount of energy that is required to remove acetal when producing high-grade ethanol.

  • Publication number: 20240316476
    Abstract: A distillation and dehydration system is provided that produces an anhydrous organic solvent. The provided system includes vapor recompression (e.g., a mechanical or thermal vapor recompression unit) to recover heat from a rectification-distillation section (e.g., a rectifier/stripper column). The addition of vapor recompression enables further heat recovery within a stream by increasing the condensation temperature and pressure of that stream and later using its latent heat by condensing it.

  • Publication number: 20240171291
    Abstract: A system, device and method for optimization of a radiated transmission matrix by the selecting probe antennae and applying a compensation network in the test system are described. Among other benefits, the anechoic chamber in which the DUT is disposed is comparatively small and inexpensive. The time-consuming process of inverse matrix tuning or isolation level checking that plagues known systems, device and methods of testing DUT is substantially avoided. Because of small size of shield box and probe antenna selection algorithm, low path loss and acceptable power in testing can be realized.
