Implementing a Successful Oil & Gas Sampling Program

July 15, 2021

With aging equipment and facilities, operators face increasing challenges in maintaining equipment reliability, integrity and safety. One of the biggest hidden threats to efficient and safe operation is deteriorating sampling equipment. However, oil and gas companies often operate sampling systems as separate entities within their systems. This leaves operations open to gaps and potential risks in their sampling system.

Boosting the performance of natural gas sweetening membrane plants

whitePaper | May 1, 2021

The performance of membrane separation processes is mainly driven by the specific separation performance of the membrane modules in addition to smart integration of this separation unit in the overall process design. The setup of membrane modules for polymeric membranes is often based on either flat sheets or hollow fibers. Given the one or the other concept, the implemented membrane material and separation layer thickness defines the maximum performance of the module with a supportive housing design. Thus, the ability to modify intrinsic properties of the polymer and the control of the membrane formation process are key factors to produce a superior membrane product. This is where competencies of a specialty chemicals company, i.e. Evonik, can contribute to unique membrane solutions for the market.
