UBE H₂ separation membranes

High pressure type

Since 1986

The first H₂ separation membranes installed in the oil refinery process in Japan

+ 200 references all over the world.

in Oil-refinery, Chemical, SAF(sustainable aviation fuel), and Natural gas, plants, for Hydrogen, Helium, Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Methane, collection or proportion adjustment and so on.

Efficient. Improving your process

Easy operation and maintenance. Long lifetime.
Available to use up to 100bar G pressure difference and up to 120° C gas temperature

H₂ separation membrane is our gas separation business origin. UBE started its basic research into materials for gas separation membranes in 1978, and we joined a Japanese national project aimed at developing a new chemosynthesis process and contributed our gas separation technology to it. After the project, UBE kept developing gas separation technology and installed the first H₂ separation membranes for the oil refinery plant in Japan for hydrogen recovery from a process, in 1986.

Features

High Pressure

Up to 100bar G pressure differences between the inlet and permeate side.

High Temperature

Up to 120° C of inlet gas temp/up to 100° C under continuous operation.

High performance

High selectivity and capacity.

Applications:

Oil refinery process, Natural gas treatment, Chemical process (Ammonia production, gasification process,), SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) production process, biodiesel production process, Syngas process. For H₂, He, CO, CO₂, CH₄, recovery, purification, and composition adjustment and so on.

How it works

UBE H₂ separation modules have a “Shell” feed structure for use at high pressure, the compressed gas flows to the outer fiber, and the highly permeated gas such as H₂, He, and CO₂ preferentially permiate into the hollow of the fiber and is discharged from the permeation port.

The UBE membrane has a different permeation ratio for each molecule depending on 1) molecule size and 2) solubility to the membrane material, the permeation orders for our membrane are shown in the table below. We use the gap of permeation ratio of each molecule for gas separation.
