Abstract
There is provided a process for the at least partial condensation of an oxygenate mixture the process comprising the steps of: (a) providing a vapour phase oxygenate mixture obtained from fragmentation of an aqueous solution of carbohydrates; (b) performing on the vapour phase oxygenate mixture an at least partial condensation to provide a condensate; and (c) combining an antifoaming agent and the condensate.

1-23. (canceled)
A process for the at least partial condensation of an oxygenate mixture, the process comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a vapour phase oxygenate mixture obtained from fragmentation of an aqueous solution of carbohydrates;
- (b) performing on the vapour phase oxygenate mixture an at least partial condensation to provide a condensate;
- and
- (c) combining an antifoaming agent and the condensate.
A system configured to at least partially condense an oxygenate mixture, the system comprising:
- (a) a fragmentation reactor configured to fragment an aqueous solution of carbohydrates to provide a vapour phase oxygenate mixture;
- (b) a condenser configured to at least partially condense the vapour phase oxygenate mixture to provide a condensate;
- and
- (c) a unit configured to combine an antifoaming agent and the condensate.
