GAS SEPARATION
StanTech Gas Separation:
Process description in principle
Gas separation is a process in which synthetic membranes and a pressure difference as driving force are utilized to separate different components of gas or vapor mixtures by taking advantage of the different solubilities and diffusivities of the different components in the polymer of the membrane.
Selected applications:
- Production of nitrogen from air (flue gas etc.)
- Oxygen enrichment
- Cleaning of polluted exhaust air streams
- Recovery of hydrogen from process exhaust streams
Components of specific StanTech interest:
- Composite membranes with high selectivities hollow fiber type
- Compact membrane modules with high performance of permeation rates
- Low pressure losses in the manifold permeation system of the modules
