How To Do CO2 Removal From Natural Gas Using Membrane Based Systems?
CO2 is contained in natural gas and has to be separated to satisfy requirements to supply the gas to the pipeline in certain areas. It is extremely beneficial to have a simple process technology available to be deployed in rural, unattended, or offshore situations. In addition to competitive capital and operational costs, ease of operation, rapid start-up, and high on-stream variables are needed. Don’t worry; we are here to help you with CO2 removal from natural gas methods.
Membrane gas treatment systems offer a safe and effective alternative for removing water vapor and carbon dioxide from natural gas, especially in remote areas. Membrane structures are highly adaptable to the requirements of varying gas quantities, CO2 concentrations, and/or product-gas.
Membrane-based systems from MTR give a simple, affordable, lightweight approach to lessen the CO2 content of natural gas. These novel membranes’ unique polymer chemistry is better than conventional membranes in evading natural gas’s diverse components. The membranes require the least gas pretreatment and create a very definite separation response, with higher than 95% hydrocarbon recovery.
Advantage of using Membrane For Carbon Dioxide:
- Reduction Membranes (CO2):
- Versatility Availability
- Customizability
- Pleasant with the world
- Quick to run
Use of Membrane Separation for CO2 removal from natural gas:
- Pressures over 450 PSIG running
- Presence of Electricity
- Restraints on room and weight
Process of CO2 Removal:
Carbon dioxide membranes run on the principle of selective permeation. Each gas element has a particular permeation rate. The movement of permeation is defined by the rate at which a component dissolves into the membrane surface and the rate at which it spreads through the membrane.
Components with more eminent diffusion rates (such as CO2, H2, and H2S) filter quicker than components with lower diffusion rates by the membrane module including N2, C1, C2, and more complex hydrocarbons. For example, carbon dioxide is a “fast” gas that is more porous than methane. The carbon dioxide will penetrate through the fiber as a stream composed of these two gases touches the membrane. We also manufacturers the devices for the Absorption refrigeration process.
These membranes are employed to provide pipeline CO2 specifications of 4 mol percent or more limited or bulk CO2 elimination. Using the membrane method of MTR minimizes needed deck space and weight in offshore installations due to these membranes’ high fluxes and effective module packing.
Benefits:
- Restricted pretreatment due to the robust chemistry of the membrane
- Special concept of a process to optimize complete recovery of hydrocarbons
- Decreased CO2 content to the appropriate requirements (<2 mol percent or optimal levels)
- The robust, proven efficiency of the membrane at high CO2 levels
- No periodic repairs, no moving parts, planned for remote unmanned service.
- High-efficiency packaging decreases weight and space, making the units suitable for offshore applications.
- Easy installs that are low-cost. In certain cases, the construction of single skid systems will take hours.
- Elevated on-stream periods maximize sales.
