Whole/Thin Stillage fractionation and clarification provides product enhancement and efficiency improvements in ethanol production. SmartFlow Technologies has provided integrated systems incorporating the patented ConSep® II HTTFF™(High Temperature Tangential Flow Filtration) module to completely remove and process the suspended solids in whole/thin stillage in the ethanol production process.
The SmartFlow HTTFF™ solution was rigorously run in continuous operations for over 3 years at an 80K gallon corn ethanol facility, performing to or above specifications driving an incredible ROI. The benefits observed with the solids retention include:

Thin Stillage-Increasing solids and oil expression |
The robust ConSep® II module has been operating in HTTFF™ mode at commercial scale, performing 24/7 at 80 °C for years reliably. The reinforced module design is responsible for the sustained performance and longevity of the ConSep® II filter, which is unprecedented in the industry.
SmartFlow Technologies, Inc. is a technology and process integrator that will design, build, and commission ConSep® II systems to match plant and process objectives.
A few examples of processing ethanol stillage inputs with ConSep® II filters at the lab level are contained on this page. The video demonstrates the capability of the ConSep® II platform rather than a particular customer application. The ConSep® II platform is linearly scalable, so these and similar processes can be scaled to any production volume.
