I was wondering if anybody knows a company or method that could potentially recover ethanol present at only 0.1 wt% in water. The stream is extremely large (flowrate of around 700-800 GPM). I am only looking to get the stream up to maybe 3-5 wt% ethanol. Right now I am thinking pervaporation with membranes. One problem is the recovery and efficiency as far as I can tell varies greatly from membrane type to membrane type, and often those composites are only offered from a specific company. If anybody has experience with this or has contact info Id appreciate it.
