A membrane-integrated hydration reactor operable to produce an associated alcohol product from an olefin using water, the membrane-integrated hydration reactor comprising: a solid acid olefin hydration catalyst operable to convert the olefin into an associated alcohol using water at olefin hydration process conditions; a hydrophilic membrane having a feed side and a permeate side, operable to selectively pervaporate water one-way from the feed side to the permeate side at olefin hydration process conditions, forming a pervaporated water product, and to prevent the pervaporation of associated alcohol and permeation of the olefin at olefin hydration conditions; a production zone containing the solid acid olefin hydration catalyst, operable to both receive an olefin feed containing the olefin and a water feed containing the water such that the olefin and the water intimately intermingle in the presence of the solid acid olefin hydration catalyst contained in the production zone and to form a production zone product mixture comprising the associated alcohol and any unreacted water and pass the production zone product mixture to an associated separations zone; and the associated separations zone containing the hydrophilic membrane, fluidly coupling to the production zone such that the production zone directs the production zone product mixture to the feed side of the hydrophilic membrane, and is operable to form and produce both the associated alcohol product and the pervaporated water product from the production zone product mixture, wherein the associated separations zone is operable so as to pass the pervaporated water product into another fluidly coupled production zone, and wherein the another production zone is fluidly coupled to another associated separation zone. a solid acid olefin hydration catalyst operable to convert the olefin into an associated alcohol using water at olefin hydration process conditions; a hydrophilic membrane having a feed side and a permeate side, operable to selectively pervaporate water one-way from the feed side to the permeate side at olefin hydration process conditions, forming a pervaporated water product, and to prevent the pervaporation of associated alcohol and permeation of the olefin at olefin hydration conditions; a production zone containing the solid acid olefin hydration catalyst, operable to both receive an olefin feed containing the olefin and a water feed containing the water such that the olefin and the water intimately intermingle in the presence of the solid acid olefin hydration catalyst contained in the production zone and to form a production zone product mixture comprising the associated alcohol and any unreacted water and pass the production zone product mixture to an associated separations zone; and the associated separations zone containing the hydrophilic membrane, fluidly coupling to the production zone such that the production zone directs the production zone product mixture to the feed side of the hydrophilic membrane, and is operable to form and produce both the associated alcohol product and the pervaporated water product from the production zone product mixture, wherein the associated separations zone is operable so as to pass the pervaporated water product into another fluidly coupled production zone, and wherein the another production zone is fluidly coupled to another associated separation zone.
