 INTRODUCTION

 DEFINITION

 PRINCIPAL

 LE-CHATLIER’S PRINCIPAL

 COMMON APPLICATION
DIAGRAM
 VARIOUS FORMS

 MEMBRANE AS A CONTACTOR

 MEMBRANE AS A SEPARATING BARRIER

 MEMBRANE AS A CONTACTING AND

SEPARATING BARRIER
TYPES (BASED ON CATALYZIED REACTIONS)

 IMRCF (INERT MEMBRANE REACTOR WITH

CATALYST ON FEED SIDE )

 CMR (CATALYTIC MEMBRANE REACTOR)

BALANCES
 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

 LOW COST
 EASY OPERATION
 HIGH HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
 LOW MAINTENANCE
 LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
 LOW WEIGHT AND SPACE REQUREMENT
 ADVANTAGES

 LOWER CAPITAL COST

 LOWER OPERATING COST.

 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

 POWER GENERATION
 DISADVANTAGES

 FOULING TENDENCY

 LOW MEMBRANE LIFETIME

 LOW SELECTIVITY OR FLUX

 POWER GENERATION
 APPLICATIONS

 AIR SEPARATION - MAINLY N2 ENRICHED AIR

 GAS TREATMENT – ACID GAS REMOVAL

 REMOVAL OF VAPORS FROM MIXTURES WITH

LIGHT GASES.

 H2 SEPARATION – H2 FROM HYDROCARBONS,

AMMONIA PURGE
SYN GAS
 CONCLUSION

 MEMBRANE SYSTEME ARE SOLID AND PROVEN

ADDITION TO THE RANGE OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR
THE REMOVAL OF GASES.

 THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY RELIABLE, EFFICIENT AND

IDEALLY SUITED TO INSTALLATION IN REMOTE
REGIONS.

 FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING HIGHER LEVEL S

OF GASES REMOVAL LIKE CO2, H2,H2S ETC.
