Air Products, the global leader in the production of gas separation and purification membranes, announced the launch of the new PRISM® GreenSep liquefied natural gas (LNG) membrane separator for bio-LNG production.
“As the world’s leading supplier of technology for the LNG industry, the PRISM® GreenSep LNG membrane separator is an excellent addition to our expansive catalogue of solutions for LNG producers,” said Dr. Erin Sorensen, General Manager, Air Products Membrane Solutions. “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.”
PRISM® GreenSep LNG membrane separators eliminate the need for intermediate purification technologies such as amine scrubbing or thermal swing adsorption during bio-LNG production, allowing for a higher yield of bio-LNG while also reducing operational expenses and energy consumption. Bio-LNG is liquefied biomethane created from an organic source such as food, animal, or municipal waste.
