Our product portfolio for emission control includes solutions for terminals and refineries (BORSIG Vapour Recovery Units, BORSIG Aromatic Recovery Unit, BORSIG Carbon Retrofit Unit), for marine loading (BORSIG Marine Vapour Recovery Unit, BORSIG Dock Safety Unit) and for car filling stations (BORSIG Vent Recovery Unit).
Products
BORSIG Vapour Recovery Unit
BORSIG Membrane Technology GmbH has developed VAPOUR RECOVERY UNITS that are meeting the future challenges of the industry while: • saving resources through reducing losses of valuable products • enabling highest recovery rates up to 99,9% to save our energy • protecting the environment in order to comply with the most stringent regulation requirements worldwide
BORSIG Hydrocarbon Recovery Unit
The BORSIG Hydrocarbon Recovery Unit is a portfolio of specially developed and customised process solutions to meet emissions legislation and minimise the loss of product and profit by the recovery of valuable hydrocarbon. The membrane separation is combined with other unit operations such as absorption, condensation, extraction etc. These hybrid processes are very efficient and enable the customer to operate at the highest economic and ecological efficiency. A typical application is powder degassing in slurry-type PE plants. Polymer is flashed and stripped with hot nitrogen and the released purge gas consisting of nitrogen and solvents like butane, pentane and hexane can be processed using a sophisticated BORSIG hydrocarbon recovery technology. The liquefied solvent and the purified nitrogen can be re-used.
BORSIG Organic Nanofiltration & Pervaporation
Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) and Pervaporation are the two technologies, provided by BORSIG Membrane Technology GmbH, where solvent stable membranes are applied to cover the sustainable needs in the industry. OSN BORSIG Membrane Technology GmbH has developed new solvent-resistant polymer membranes which are now industrially available having already proved their performance in industrial reference installations. These BORSIG OSN membranes offer new and sophisticated liquid separation or fractionating processes for the treatment of organic mixtures and solvent-based production streams and come along with exceptional properties and benefits such as moderate operation conditions (T, p), low energy consumption in comparison to thermal processes, no degradation of temperature sensitive natural compounds (low temperatures), improved product quality and yield to name a few. OSN applications: - Concentration of higher molecular components - Hydrocarbon polishing Pervaporation The BORSIG Pervaporation Unit is using polymeric membranes with an affinity to water or methanol, which are independent on the vapor/liquid equilibrium. Typical applications are the dehydration of ethanol, bioethanol, isopropanol (IPA), organic solvent and a lot more. Depending on the customer needs and the feed conditions and composition, either a stand-alone unit or a hybrid system can be the optimum solution.
