Gas processors do not always give filtration the priority it deserves as a means to improve product quality and protect vital equipment from damage. The Gas Filtration Test Skid is a new development that can assess contamination levels and process flows while a gas plant is in operation. Figure 1. Overview of the spectrum of […]
The research article ‘Maximizing selectivity: An analysis of isoporous membranes’ has been published in Elsevier’s Journal of Membrane Science (Volume 633, 1 September 2021, 119389). Abstract Membranes are compelling candidates for many separation-based industrial processes. However, all synthetic membranes are subject to well-recognized permeability-selectivity trade-offs that hinder their use in advanced applications. Having uniform nanoscale pore size, isoporous nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes […]
