Vogelbusch is recognized around the world for proprietary process technology for the production of biocommodities such as alcohol, bioethanol, starch sugars, yeast, vinegar and organic acids. We license our technologies and implement process units for all stages of biotechnological production, ranging from raw material preparation and fermentation to downstream processes such as distillation/rectification, evaporation, dehydration and chromatography.
From the initial process design through to the launch of production, we provide engineering support with a variety of service packages. Our wealth of experience in bioprocess design allows us to respond to your individual needs with customized solutions. R&D and analytical work for process adaptations are carried out in our in-house research facilities before they are used to create modern industrial plant designs.
are sugar and starch processors, and the food and beverage industries. Reference projects around the world are proof of our professional expertise in the biotechnology industry:
VOGELBUSCH USA Inc. supplied a system for recovery of ethanol from brewery waste streams. The facility was designed as a PLC-controlled, two-stage process that consists of a two-column distillation, which produces an ethanol/water vapour that is then dried in the molecular sieve unit. For easy installation, the system was prefabricated in two...
Vogelbusch was employed by COFCO Bioenergy Zhaodong to build an energy efficient distillation, rectification and dehydration system with the aim to replace two existing old and energy intensive units. The order's scope included the basic engineering of the unit as well as technical assistance during procurement of critical items such as...
Following conceptual design studies for the reduction of the energy demand - and therefore CO2 emissions - Czech bioethanol producer Ethanol Energy assigned Vogelbusch with the basic design of the process optimization. Production in the reconstructed plant was launched in the fourth quarter in 2018.
Borregaard replaced a decades old ethanol dehydration system by a state-of-the-art molecular sieve unit from Vogelbusch. The limited space in the biorefinery recommended a skid construction with minimum footprint. A special feature of the installation is an unusually wide capacity span, which was realized in a fully automated process. The unit has...
The Promaíz plant produces bioethanol from corn which is used as fuel additive in the local markets. Besides the technology package for the complete plant and detailed planning of piping and vessels, Vogelbusch has been assigned with the supply of equipment such as fermenter internals, distillation columns, molecular sieve dehydration and...
