Germany-headed global specialty chemicals major Evonik Industries AG has unveiled its latest biogas membrane, the SEPURAN Green G5X 11”, featuring what the company says is "the highest capacity of its kind currently on the market."
Specifically designed for upgrading biogas to biomethane – aka renewable natural gas (RNG) – in large landfills, agricultural, organic waste, and wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) projects, the membrane is specifically engineered for maximizing sustainability and efficiency gains in biogas upgrading projects.
The launch of this product addresses the growing demand for our membranes among large-volume biogas upgrading projects in landfills and other large RNG projects. The market-leading capacity of our SEPURAN Green G5X 11” makes it the ideal choice for customers looking to boost their cost efficiency, said Jennifer Doerper, Global Director of biogas membranes at Evonik.
Designed for large flow projects
The SEPURAN Green G5X 11” is designed with double the capacity of the SEPURAN Green G5X 6”L, and is ideal for large‑flow projects among landfills. Used in Evonik’s 3-stage configurations, which are patented in the United States (US), it excels in maximizing methane recovery rates and enabling high onstream times.
Additionally, Evonik’s SEPURAN Green G5X 11” offers more compact systems, less piping connections and welding time, and is easy to operate due to its ability for precise monitoring.
Scheduled to enter production later this year, Evonik launched its first membrane product—SEPURAN Green, for efficient upgrading of biogas—on the market in 2011, laying the foundations for future business in membranes.
This was followed by further membrane products for nitrogen, helium, hydrogen, natural gas, and nanofiltration applications.
Today, Evonik’s membranes are in service at more than 1,000 installations worldwide locations including 200 in North America.
