Benefits of Permylene for Olefin Production & Separation
Light olefins production is a multi-billion dollar commodity industry, and the olefin/paraffin separation process is the most energy-intensive operation in the production of ethylene, propylene and other high volume olefin petrochemicals.
These are just some of the benefits of using a Permylene membrane system for olefin/paraffin separation:
- Lower Capital Cost (CAPEX) Alternative to Distillation
- Lower Energy Cost
- Reduced Environmental Impact from Emissions
- Recovery of Valuable Olefins from Waste Streams
- Olefin Stream Value Upgrading
- New Product Opportunities
Other Permylene Membrane System Benefits
- Modular product design enables future capacity expansions
- Ease of deployment (logistics, construction, timing) vs. distillation
- Relative ease of operations and maintenance
- Hybrid applications and integration with existing processes can optimize overall olefin recovery performance
