Membrane Contactor
For CO2 Gas Removal
(P1 2011 000661)
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION / FEATURES
This product was built with Porous Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane with ultra-skin layer, high surface porosity, small pore sizes (10-50nm), and inner skinless layer flow mass transfer resistance. Besides that, it is also high wets resistance, high permeability, high CO2 absorption flux, and long term stable operation of CO2 absorption. The functionality of this device is acting as removing CO2 to meet specifications before the gas can be delivered to the pipeline, reducing CO2 content in natural gas and performance as removal of contamination CO2 gas.
NEEDS
