Practical Membrane Solutions for Complex Industrial Separations

Proven in olefin-paraffin separation, point-source carbon capture, and other challenging applications.

Designed for reliable operation inside industrial processes.

For more than 30 years, our membranes have been deployed in applications such as oil dehydration, degassing, and solvent recovery across demanding industrial environments.

Building on this experience, the Optiperm™ platform enables next-generation separations including olefin-paraffin separation and point-source carbon capture.

Its modular design enables deployment in facilities with utility constraints, limited footprint, and strict safety requirements across industries including:
  • Petrochemicals
  • Oil & gas
  • Gas processing
  • Cement & steel
  • Gas-fired power generation
  • Waste-to-energy
  • Pulp & paper
  • Glass
15%
Up to 15% of global energy use goes to chemical separation processes. Membrane technology enables these separations with significantly lower energy demand.1
40%
Our membrane technology uses up to 40% less energy than traditional solvent-based separation processes
50%
In carbon capture projects, capture can account for over 50% of the cost of CCUS. Our membrane systems reduce the cost and energy required for capture.2
