  • Chemisorbent materials for olefin/paraffin separation

    This project aims to develop new equipment and chemisorbent materials for the separation of ethylene and propene from their saturated counterparts. These are mostly obtained through cryogenic distillation, a high capital and energy demanding process demanding up to 6% of the industry’s total energy usage and associated to 75% of the product production cost. This
