The invention provides a method for the purification of a liquid by membrane distillation comprising: - passing a heated vapourising stream of a liquid (retentate stream) through a retentate channel over a porous membrane, whereby vapour of the liquid flows via the pores of the membrane to the other side of said membrane, and - condensing said vapour on the other side of said membrane to give a distillate stream in a distillate channel which distillate is created by passing the heat of condensation (latent heat) towards a condenser surface, said condenser surface forming a non-porous separation between a feed stream of the liquid to be purified and said distillate stream, which feed stream is passed through a feed channel in counter-current with the retentate stream, whereby at least part of the latent heat is transferred via the condenser surface to the feed stream, characterised in that, a positive liquid pressure difference is applied between the retentate stream and the feed stream at the corresponding points of the retentate channel and the feed channel over at least a part of each of the retentate channel and feed channel. The invention further provides an apparatus suitable for use in said method.

The invention relates to an apparatus for performing membrane gas/liquid absorption at elevated pressure, comprising a pressure vessel in which a membrane unit is provided for separate feed-through of the gas phase and the liquid phase, in such a way that exchange of components to be absorbed can take place between the gas phase and the liquid phase, the flow direction of the gas phase through the absorber being essentially perpendicular to the flow direction of the liquid phase through the absorber. The invention further relates to a method for performing gas/liquid membrane absorption employing this absorber, in particular for the absorption of CO2, H2S, mercury (vapour) and/or water (vapour) from a gas phase at elevated pressure. The invention finally relates to a method for refining natural gas using the absorber and method according to the invention.
摘要:
Un procédé de séparation utilisant une membrane et servant à déshydrater un mélange de gaz, de vapeur ou de liquides à l'aide de lévaporation à travers une membrane, de la pénétration de vapeur ou du dégazage, consiste à faire passer le mélange le long de la face rétentive d'une membrane et à générer une force d'entraînement afin de transporter de l'eau à travers la membrane jusqu'à la face à perméat de celle-ci. Afin de diminuer le volume du perméat, d'améliorer le coefficient de rendement (COP) et de réduire les coûts d'achat et d'entretien du matériel générateur de la force d'entraînement, une solution très concentrée d'un ou plusieurs sels hygroscopiques (de la saumure) se situe du côté à perméat de la membrane. De préférence, le pouvoir hygroscopique des saumures, exprimé sous forme de pourcentage de réduction de la pression de vapeur par rapport à celle de l'eau pure, a une valeur supérieure à 50 %, et de préférence supérieure à 80 %.

摘要:
A membrane separation process for dehydrating a gas or vapour or liquid mixture by pervaporation, vapour permeation or gas separation comprises: passing the mixture along the retentate side of a membrane and generating a driving force in order to transport water through the membrane to the permeate side thereof. In order to diminish the permeate volume, to improve the coefficient of performance (COP) and to reduce the acquisition and maintenance costs of the equipment the driving force is generated in that a highly concentrated solution of one or more hygroscopic salts (brine) is situated at the permeate side of the membrane. Preferably the hygroscopic capacity of the brines, expressed as a percentage of water vapour pressure reduction with respect to pure water, has a value of over 50%, preferably of over 80%.
