ESA Process 1: Alcohol Distillation
Condenser
The purpose of this process is separate
and concentrate alcohol from a
Product
highly concentrated mixture using differences in boiling
alcohol vapor points. This process takes place at
Re ux
atmospheric pressure between 78.37°C
and 100°C , which is the boiling point range
for ethanol. Liquid beer is fed into the top of the
stripping portion of the column. A highly concentrated alcohol
liquid beer (no solids) vapor goes to a condenser that produces the product and reflux.
Water with some beer goes to a boiler where it becomes steam or
Distillation leaves as bottoms.

ESA Process 2: Food Drying
The purpose of this process to remove water
Steam
from food like fruit. This process takes place
at atmospheric pressure and
temperature depends on the
Dried Food food. Temperature for fruit is
Food between 150°F and 200°F.
Oven Food is added and heated to
remove the water as steam.

Barrier Process 1: Wastewater Treatment Filtration
The purpose of this process is to
remove unwanted materials from the water.
Water with sand, gravel, This takes place at room temperature and atmospheric
dust, chemicals, parasites
pressure. Dirty water is ran
through a filter, and the filter
sand, gravel, dust, chemicals,

Barrier Process 2: Water Treatment reverse osmosis
The purpose of this process
Impure water Puri ed water is to remove dissolved
contaminants from water.
Semi-permeable This takes place at room
membrane temperature and
Applied
Pressure the pressure range is between
100 to 1500 psi. The
application of pressure before
the water enters the membrane allows the water to travel from high concentration to low
concentration. The water passes through the semi-permeable membrane.

MSA Process 1: Air Stripping of ammonia
The purpose of this process is to remove ammonia from water to make it safer to drink. The
ammonia is soluble in the air, so when air is added the ammonia is removed. This takes place at
room temperature and atmospheric pressure.

MSA Process 2: Ion exchange hard water
The purpose of this process is to remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water. This
takes place at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Brine is added to hard water, the high
concentration of sodium ions in the brine displaces the calcium and
magnesium ions.

MSA Process 3: Leaching with Sulfuric Acid
The purpose of this process is to recover copper from ores. This process takes places at room
temperature and atmospheric pressure. Sulfuric acid is added to copper ores and convert the
copper into a soluble copper while the impurity remains insoluble.

External field process: Magnetic separation in the mining industry
The purpose of this process is to remove magnetic contaminants from minerals. This process
takes place at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. Materials that lacks magnetic
properties are ejected in the forward direction of the roll, following a natural trajectory. Any
particles with magnetic characteristics are affected by the magnetic force of the roll and are
expelled underneath the roll.
