LEHIGH VALLEY, Pa.,
Jan. 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- Air Products' (NYSE: APD) PRISM Membranes division in
Saint Louis, Missouri, has
received PED (Pressure Equipment Directive) certification for two
new sizes of membrane separators for biogas upgrading applications.
This certification, from DNV GL Business Assurance Italia S.r.l.,
confirms that Air Products' biogas separation products meet the
European standards for design, manufacture, and safe operation of
pressurized equipment.
The company now offers six different PRISM® Membrane Separators
for biogas applications. The two new membrane separators are
designed for lower biogas processing capacity than
Air Products' current product offerings. This makes the new
products ideally suited for small-scale and micro anaerobic
digester applications, which constitute the largest number of
digesters globally. PRISM Membrane Separators contain polymeric
hollow fibers and utilize selective permeation to separate raw
biogas into two streams: enriched biomethane and enriched carbon
dioxide.
"The two new membrane separators will be offered with both our
high flux and high selectivity fiber types," said Charles Page, Air Products' PRISM Membranes
business manager. "This combination of membrane separator sizes and
fiber types provides engineers unparalleled flexibility to optimize
system performance in accordance with customer specifications."
"Air Products is a leading manufacturer of gas separation
membrane separators," said Greg
Malcolm, business manager of Engineered Membrane Systems at
Air Products. "These new products demonstrate our commitment to
meeting the needs of the global biogas market."
Air Products' PRISM Membrane Separators are manufactured
exclusively at its facility in Saint Louis, Missouri (USA) and sold through an exclusive
network of preferred engineering and integration companies
worldwide. For more information about these products or becoming a
