Dedini Field Testing Program Phase 1: Demonstration Unit (Start-up Sept/2008)
5 m³/day at Cosan plant in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
Two stage membrane module system
Vapor feed is a split stream of rectification column
Feed total pressure: 135-140 kPa Temperature: 105 ºC 99.5% fuel grade product.

Rack and Module Assembly
2, 6, 12 et 24 modules per rack
Very flexible (in/out) Compact design to
minimize interconnection costs
Vertical mounting foreasy access

Energy Comparison SiftekTM vs Molecular Sieves
Distillation & Molecular Sieves SiftekTM Membranes
Steam(kg of steam/hL)
~250 ~100
Electricity (kWh/hL) 6 15
Energy Savings 50 %
_5
Membranes for Dehydration (MSU Replacement)
Typical feed: 90-93 wt% Energy savings approximately 80% Competitive CAPEX in comparison to MSU
