For a long time ethanol's principal importance was as raw material for beverage alcohol. The development of bioethanol has changed that. As a fuel made from renewable resources, the product is starting its second career at the petrol pump. Whatever the biomass used, in the quest for efficient processing methods a fundamental key lies in the use of centrifugal separation technology. Westfalia Separator provides strong support for industry, not just with sophisticated machines but also with individual integrate solutions, from design and installations of decanters and separators to complete process lines for specific areas. Economic efficiency extends not just to ethanol production itself but also to efficient utilisation of valuable by-products such as gluten or stillage.

Westfalia Separator supports the central processes for obtaining bioethanol as a fuel and ethanol as beverage or industrial alcohol:
