The team collaborated to develop, demonstrate and move toward the commercialization of a pervaporation membrane system, which reduces the energy required for product isolation from dilute fermentation broths. Avoiding the energy consumption associated with the latent heat of vaporization for water was the key benefit. Essentially, this work isolated high boilers from dilute feeds without evaporating water. These activities lead to the development, fabrication, and demonstration of proprietary, advanced polymer membrane cartridges that dramatically reduce the cost of bio-chemical and bio-fuel manufacture.
