Abstract

Membrane-based gas separation (GS) systems are today widely accepted and, in some cases, used as unit operations for generation, separation, and purification of gases in gas, chemical, petroleum, and allied industries. There are several fields of application of membrane GS, and several membrane materials and membrane modular solutions are available today for the various fields of interest. However, the growth of large-scale industrial applications for GS is still far from reaching the real potential this technology offers. Together with the investigation of new materials with improved properties, a key component for widespread use of this technology is a better understanding and utilization of the unit operations already available on the market in integrated membrane systems, combining various membrane operations in industrial processes. The role of membrane engineering is crucial to overcome this hurdle.
