4. Introduction
• Introduction to Membrane
• Introduction to Membrane Reactor
• Selectivity of Membranes
• Classification Criteria of Membranes
• Ideal Membrane Characteristics

5. Membrane Structure
• Asymmetric Membranes
• Figure of Asymmetric Membrane

6. Membrane Element
• What are Membrane Elements ?
• Spiral Wound Membrane Element

7. • Hollow Fiber Membrane Element

8. Membrane Processes
• Reverse Osmosis (RO)
• Pervaporation (PV)
• Ultra Filtration (UF)
• Micro Filtration (MF)
• Ion Exchange (IE)

9. Design Considerations
 Some typical requirements are:
• Low cost
• Easy operation
• High hydrocarbon recovery
• Low maintenance
• Low energy consumption
• Low weight and space requirement

10.  Advantages of Membrane Reactor
• Lower capital cost
• Lower operating costs
• Environmentally friendly
• Power Generation
 Disadvantages of Membrane Reactor
• Fouling tendency
• Low membrane lifetime
• Low selectivity or flux
• More or less up-scaling factor

11.  Applications of Membrane Reactor
• Air separation - mainly N2 enriched air
• gas treatment - acid gas removal
• H2 separation - H2 from hydrocarbons, ammonia purge,
syn gas
• Removal of vapors from mixtures with light gases
(vapor separation

12. Conclusion
• Membrane systems are solid and proven addition
to the range of technologies for the removal of
gases.
• They are extremely reliable, efficient, and ideally
suited to installation in remote regions.
• For applications requiring higher levels of gases
removal like CO2, H2 ,H2S etc.
