UBE H₂ separation membrane modules (H₂ separator) have polyimide hollow fiber membranes originated from UBE. The modules that hydrogen (H₂) permeates preferentially than other gases can recover H₂ by separating H₂ efficiently from gas mixtures.
The modules have been applied to recovering and manufacturing processes of H₂ from petroleum refineries and chemical industries such as syngas, methanol, and ammonia production. In addition, the modules can be also applied to production of biofuels such as SAF (sustainable aviation fuel), biodiesel, and so on. The modules also can be applied to He recovery and CO₂ removal from natural gas at high pressure operation.
The mini version of the H₂ separator is much smaller than the existing product portfolio of separators. However, despite its miniature size, this module features UBE’s membrane technology for H₂ and He separation, meeting comprehensive requests for lab-scale tests.
Among some of its most prominent attributes, the UBE Hydrogen Separator for H₂ or He can be distinguished by maximum allowable pressure difference up to 100 barg, maximum operating gas temperature of 100 ºC, high selectivity for H₂ and He from hydrocarbons, and long lifetime, with great durability.
