ABSTRACT:
A fractionation process for treating a gas stream containing organic vapor in a concentration technically or economically difficult to treat by standard waste control methods. Typically this concentration will be about 0.1-10% organic vapor. The process involves running the stream through a membrane system containing one or more membranes selectively permeable to the organic vapor component of the gas stream. The fractionation produces two streams: a product residue stream containing the organic vapor in a concentration less than about 0.5% and a product permeate stream highly enriched in organic vapor content. Both residue and permeate streams are then suitable for treatment by conventional separations or waste control technologies. The low concentration residue stream might be passed to carbon adsorption beds, for example, and the high concentration permeate stream might be subjected to condensation or incineration.
