Hybrid separation distillation-pervaporation processes has been evaluated by using simulations
developed through Aspen Plus 7.3®, which in turn is linked with Excel 2007® and R2012b® MatLab. The
study case selected was ethanol dehydration, because of its significance for the alcohol fuel industry. The
evaluation of hybrid processes has been focused on energy consumption; and the result has been compared
with bibliographic references for all non-conventional separation processes currently used.
