Frequently Asked Questions
What separation techniques are most relevant for alcohols & solvents?
Alcohols & solvents are most commonly separated using Evaporation. Selection depends on scale, purity targets, and downstream impurities.
Where do these molecules sit in industrial bioprocessing?
Volatile fermentation products (46-90 Da). Purified primarily by distillation with molecular sieve dehydration for azeotrope breaking.
How does untangle.bio help design these processes?
Drag-and-drop unit operations onto a flowsheet, define your feed stream from the built-in database, and let the route generator propose ranked process trains based on yield, purity, and CAPEX.
