selectivity with the feed temperature [40], due to the transport acti-
vation energy of the higher alcohols being higher than of water [20]
and also because ethanol concentration is less sensitive to the tem-
perature than the permeate (water) flux. Higher alcohols selectivity
also increases slightly with feed flowrate since higher alcohols are
less permeable compared to esters and, as a result, they are less
affected by the concentration polarization [40]. It was verified at lab
level that higher alcohols selectivity decreases with permeate pres-
sure increase [40], due to their low saturated vapour pressures (low
volatilities) [20]. This trend was not observed in the industrial plant.
In the industrial plant, the condensing temperature is obtained
using a cooling/heating circulator and the condensing temperature
is influenced by the feed temperature, increasing with it (cf. Fig. 5);
