Membranes for Hydrocarbon Gases Treatment

The principle of membrane separation of a gas mixture is based on the different penetration rates of its components through a polymeric membrane due to the differential partial pressures of the gas on either side of the membrane.

Membrane gas separation technology is widely used throughout the world to extract nitrogen from air, extract hydrogen from hydrogen-bearing gas mixtures, and extract carbon dioxide and water from natural gas.

Grasys Membrane Cartridges
