Distillation and reverse membrane methods might work

Have you tried looking into "reflux stills?" You can find a good description on Wikipedia. Just don't drink it.

Below is an excerpt from Wikipedia

During distillation, fusel alcohols are concentrated in the "tails" at the end of the distillation run. They have an oily consistency, which is noticeable to the distiller, hence the other name fusel oil. If desired, these heavier alcohols can be almost completely separated in a reflux still. Freeze distillation, on the other hand, does not remove fusel alcohols.
