Boosting the performance of natural gas sweetening membrane plants

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.

Silicone-Base Coating Mitigates Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) In Petrochemical Plants

whitePaper | June 15, 2021

Corrosion under insulation (CUI) is one of the costliest problems in the petrochemical industry. It also presents a high degree of potential danger. CUI occurs when moisture mixed with contaminants infiltrates insulation, encouraging the development of corrosion cells on the steel underneath. This paper demonstrates how Sherwin-Williams Heat-Flex® High-Temp 1200 withstands temperature fluctuations, thermal shock and other upset conditions to protect against hidden CUI.
