Abstract
Commercial membrane-based gas separator systems based upon high-flux, asymmetric polysulfone hollow fibers were first introduced in 1977 by Monsanto. These systems were packaged in compact modules containing large amounts of permeation surface area with productivities (flux/ft3 of module volume) of four to five orders of magnitude higher than previous pIate-and-frame modules. A number of other companies have also entered the field with high-flux dried cellulose acetate in hollow fiber and spiral-wound membrane' configurations. The fundamental principles governing membrane-based gas separations are reviewed in this paper, and examples of applications are presented
