Distillation|Dehydration in Norrköping

The bioethanol plant of Lantmännen Agroetanol AB utilises process technology licensed by Vogelbusch for distillation and dehydration. The proprietary MultiPressure system considerably reduces the steam consumption compared to traditional distillation systems and optimum thermal integration further improves the energy-saving properties of the plant.
The facility, which is Agroetanol’s second production line in Norrköping, processes wheat for the most part as well as rye and barley. With the experience of their first plant Agroetanol had decided to design the raw material preparation and the fermentation based on own know-how, while other process groups were assigned to contractors. The plant has a design capacity of 470,000 liters ethanol per day and started operations in 2008.
