By Shardul SharmaAir Products on May 10 announced the launch of the new Prism GreenSep LNG membrane separator for bio-LNG production.
The Prism GreenSep LNG membrane separators, developed by Air Products Membrane Solutions, eliminate the need for intermediate purification technologies such as amine scrubbing or thermal swing adsorption during bio-LNG production. This allows for a higher yield of bio-LNG while simultaneously reducing operational expenses and energy consumption.
“This cutting-edge technology will deliver a higher LNG yield at a lower operational cost, while also furthering our common goal of building a safer, cleaner, more productive world," said Erin Sorensen, general manager, Air Products Membrane Solutions.
Bio-LNG, derived from liquefied biomethane produced from organic sources such as food, animal, or municipal waste, represents a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional LNG.
Air Products Membrane Solutions specialises in the development of hollow fiber membrane separators and systems for onsite gas generation. Air Products designs, engineers, manufactures, and markets a full portfolio of Prism membrane separators, marine systems, and engineered-to-order systems.
