Reduction of Carbon footprint of Alcohol Production by Electrification of Thermal Processes

The carbon footprint of an alcohol plant is mainly defined by the production of the necessary steam for distillation & rectification (as well as for drying in starch based alcohol plants). As currently the production of renewable electricity from wind and photovoltaic is booming, sustainable electricity becomes more and more available and economically feasible.

Based on cheap electricity, heating of thermal processes by Mechanical Vapor Recompression has a number of advantages and can lead to a significant reduction of operation costs.

Beside the benefits of the installation of new electrified plants also the options for revamping of existing steam heated units will be discussed.
