Air Products (APD) Unveils PRISM LNG Membrane Separator
Read MoreHide Full Article
Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (APD - Free Report) recently launched the new PRISM GreenSep liquefied natural gas ("LNG") membrane separator for bio-LNG production. This cutting-edge technology has been designed to increase LNG yield while lowering operational costs and promoting the objective of creating a safer, greener and more productive world.
PRISM GreenSep LNG membrane separators eliminate the requirement for intermediate purification technologies such as amine scrubbing or thermal swing adsorption during bio-LNG production, resulting in a better bio-LNG yield while lowering operational costs and energy usage. Bio-LNG is liquefied biomethane derived from organic sources such as food, animal or municipal waste.
Air Products Membrane Solutions specializes in hollow fiber membrane separators and onsite gas generation. Air Products develops, engineers, manufactures and markets a complete line of PRISM Membrane Separators, Marine Systems and Engineered-to-Order Systems. Its membrane separators and systems are also intended to generate more sustainable energy sources while increasing productivity in several industries and applications.
Shares of APD have lost 10.4% over the past year against the industry’s 1% growth.
