Membrane Science and Technology

Membranes for Gas Purification and Separation

Gas membrane units can be engaged in numerous processes. The application zone can range from purification or recovery of waste gas streams to generation of a high quality product (e.g. hydrogen, methane, syngas and helium). Membrane separation has been used additional and more extensively in a range of industrial processes from conventional chemical processing to pharmaceutical, healthcare and environmental applications. With the recent quick development in new materials and ever growing demand in reducing energy consumptions in chemical and process industry, novel membranes and processes are being industrialized for new applications. The membrane group discovers these new frontiers, based on chemical engineering science, in collaboration with top scientists worldwide.
