Grace Membrane Systems
Leading Edge Gas Separations for the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical Industries
Membrane technology is now a significant factor in industrial processing. Grace
Membrane Systems are on the leading edge of this technology, with cost effective,
high performance membrane separators designed to meet the specific needs of the
oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
Grace Membrane Systems are fully functional gas separation units. They are delivered
skid-mounted and complete will all necessary pretreatment hardware, pressure vessels,
membrane separators, instrumentation and controls for each specific application.
How Grace Membrane Systems Work
Our systems function by allowing gas components to permeate through polymeric membranes at differing rates. For example, under the same conditions, a “fast,” or highly permeable gas, such as hydrogen, will diffuse through a membrane at a rate approximately 50 times higher than that of a “slow,” or less permeable gas, like methane.
Pressure is the driving force for the separation process. The membrane delivers a residual stream at close to fee pressure and the permeate at lower pressure. The Grace design completely utilizes the existing system pressures and provides the optimum process solution.
The selectivity and efficiency of the separation process is determined by the membrane’s polymeric makeup and its configuration. Grace Membrane Systems utilize spiral –wound membranes that increase efficiency and performance, yet keep capital costs and maintenance expenses down. These benefits are essential to such diverse field applications as refinery separations, natural gas treating and CO2 enhanced oil recovery and petrochemical separations.
As of September 10, 2009, the Grace Davison Membranes product line was sold to UOP, LLC. As a valued customer we want to ensure you have continued access to membrane product that you may need as replacement elements. Here is a link to the UOP web site for your convenience.
