Why Choose the Vaperma Siftek™ Membrane System?
The Siftek™ membrane process developed by Vaperma offers a clear value proposition to ethanol plant operators: energy efficiency, easy integration in any fuel-grade ethanol process, modularity, flexibility, ease of operation, and little maintenance.
Benefits
Significant Energy Savings
The Siftek™ membrane eliminates distillation and molecular sieve units. By replacing the distillation and molecular sieve units, producers save up to 50% in energy costs.

Modular and Flexible System
Siftek™ membrane systems are easily integrated into existing plants to extend capacity by 20-40% or more withouth the need for major re-work. Siftek™ can also be used in new plants as either a dewatering or dehydration system.

Low Carbon Footprint
Less fossil fuel energy consumed means less greenhouse gas generated. For example, a standard 40 M gal/y ethanol plant equipped with a Siftek™ membrane can save up to 21 000 tons of greenhouse gases (this is equivalent to eliminating 4 516 passenger cars off the road for one year).
