Membrane separations
Pervaporation (PV) and Vapour Permeation (VP)
| Pervaporation is a thermal membrane separation process which can be used to remove water or methanol from organic solvents and VOC from water. The pervaporation process requires no regeneration or the introduction of an additional fluid. Therefore, further separation steps and environmental impacts are avoided.

PERVAP™ Membrane
DeltaMem has a proprietary range of PERVAP™ polymer composite membranes in its portfolio.
DeltaMem’s PERVAP™ polymeric membranes for dehydration and methanol removal is based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) separation layer.
The separation layer is cross-linked in different ways to produce a range of hydrophilic membranes suitable for different pervaporation and vapor permeation applications.
DeltaMem also offers also world class inorganic pervaporation membranes.
