The membrane aided concentration and dehydration technologies will replace the energy intensive distillation columns and molecular sieves used in refining cellulosic ethanol.
Fiberight chief executive officer Craig Stuart Paul said, "These downstream membrane technologies integrated with our proprietary front end processes will create a game change in our quest for low cost cellulosic ethanol and takes us much closer to reducing our dependence on imported oil."
KmX Corporation chief executive officer Isaac Gaon said, "Our proprietary membranes create lower cost pathways in dealing with some of the more complex issues surrounding hydrolysis, fermentation and separation all of which are key components in creating economically viable green products."
The hydrophobic membrane aided concentration technology can concentrate a small fraction of cellulosic ethanol of about 6% in the fermented broth to 50% and the dehydration hydrophilic membranes can further convert ethanol in to fuel grade quality.
