Problems solved by technology

Heat treatment can be detrimental to the concentration of alcoholic solutions due to high energy consumption, loss of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and changes in the structure of proteins that are important for flavor, aroma, and taste
Pressure-driven membrane processing may be limited by poor retention of alcohols and VOCs and hydrostatic pressure limits

Embodiment Construction

[0033] Embodiments described herein relate to methods and systems thereof for removing water or water and a permeable solute from a solution having one or more permeable solutes therein using forward osmosis (FO). FO can be used to selectively separate one or more solutes (eg, dissolved, dispersed, or suspended components of a solvent system) from one or more solvents. The one or more solutes may comprise at least partially dissolved, dispersed or suspended one or more sugars, one or more alcohols, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), proteins, one or more salts, one or more sugars Alcohols or other components of a liquid system capable of being filtered (eg, retained or removed) by FO at a filter membrane and combinations of any of the preceding components thereof. The solutes may include permeable solutes that are able to pass through the FO membrane, such as ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol, and the like. Solutes may include impermeable solutes that are substantially unabl...

Abstract

Examples disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for controllably removing one or more solutes from a solution. Examples disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for removing water from alcoholic beverages.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of the earlier filing date of US Application Serial No. 62 / 438,950, filed December 23, 2016, under 35 U.S.C. §119. The entire content of the aforementioned priority application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for any purpose. Background technique [0003] Existing techniques for dehydrating alcoholic solutions include both thermal treatments (eg, distillation, evaporation) and hydrostatic pressure-driven membrane processes (eg, reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration). Heat treatment can be detrimental to the concentration of alcoholic solutions due to high energy consumption, loss of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and changes in the structure of proteins that are important for flavor, aroma, and taste. Pressure-driven membrane processing may be limited by poor retention of alcohols and VOCs, as well as hydrostatic pressure limits. Contents of the i...
