J High reliability
Historical operating data indicates minimum

record of more than 99.8% on-stream time is
due to reliability features that include:
- Minimal feed pretreatment and utility
requirements
- Proven valve and instrument designs

during reduced feed rate operation
- High resistance to contaminants
J Future expandability by adding modules or skids.

PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The separation of a gas mixture by membranes is effected
by the differences in permeation rates of various gases
through the polymeric membrane. The more permeable
gas (for example, hydrogen) is enriched on the permeate
side of the membrane, while the less permeable gas
enriches on the feed side of the membrane. The membrane
separation of these gases is a pressure driven process and UOP provides:
requires a high feed pressure. The product stream (perme-
