It has published Imtex Permylene Membrane Systems – The Cost Effective Alternative to Distillation for Olefin Purification and Extraction. This paper describes how Permylene membrane separation technology works in extracting valuable olefins from olefin-containing mixed gas streams in a cost effective manner, and how Permylene can be integrated in a variety of olefin separation processes, including those that are commercially desirable but are considered impractical or uneconomical via conventional distillation or other separation technologies.
“Imtex has overcome the technological and operational challenges that have prevented the adoption of membrane technologies for olefin-paraffin separation in the petrochemical industry where stable, continuous and high performance operation are imperative,” said I. Glenn Towe, President and CEO of Imtex. “This paper discusses how our Permylene technology works in a number of mixed olefin-paraffin separation applications, and quantifies the potential capital cost and operating expense benefits that Permylene membrane technology can bring to the industry versus conventional separation processes.”
Founded in 2007, Imtex is an advanced membrane separation technology company that is focused on providing Permylene, a patented high performance, reliable and cost-effective membrane technology for the separation of olefins from paraffins and other compounds to the petrochemical industry. Permylene membrane systems offer significant economic and environmental benefits over the distillation processes typically employed for olefin-paraffin separations.
Imtex is committed to delivering technology to the petrochemical industry that dramatically improves the efficiency, sustainability and cost effectiveness of separating mixed gas streams. To learn more about Imtex and the Permylene Membrane System, go to www.imtexmembranes.com.
