Abstract
A dehydration system energy recycling system (17) and method whereby latent heat energy is transferred from a high proof vapor produced by a dehydration element (16′) into a lower proof feed mixture received into the dehydration element. The high proof vapor is first compressed (48) downstream of a dehydration apparatus (18) to increase its saturation temperature, and is then condensed to release latent heat energy. The latent heat energy is used to heat the lower proof feed mixture upstream of the dehydration apparatus. A grain-to-alcohol plant incorporating the dehydration system energy recycling system requires little or no virgin boiler steam to drive the dehydration system, while an associated evaporation element (24) of the plant can be driven by heat energy captured in a dryer exhaust energy recycling (DEER) system (40).
