The need for sustainable development, combined in many cases with environmental issues, is driving advances in utilising gases from unusual sources as either fuel or as source gases for chemical synthesis. In many cases, these gases are produced with very low pressures and/or are contaminated with materials that may impact on the economic or environmentally acceptable exploitation of the source.
This paper presents case studies that describe the technical and operational drivers behind the use of separations equipment such as filters, coalescers and cross-flow membrane technologies in overcoming some of these challenges, enabling the efficient, economical use of these gas sources while minimising impact on the environment.
