Download or read book Membranes on Polyolefins Plants Vent Recovery written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2012-08-02 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas separation by membranes has acquired increasing importance in the petrochemical industry and is now a relatively well-established unit operation, especially in the monomer recovery of polymer production processes. Considering the current tight monomers market, polymer degassing steps present potential improvement opportunities, through the recovery of vent streams containing monomers. The economic analysis presented in this report is based upon the installation of a membrane-based propylene recovery unit in a polypropylene plant, a unit similar to MTR VaporSep(r). Such measure was demonstrated to be attractive in the US Gulf Coast, due to propylene scarcity, which has recently raised its market value. The alternative of using such vent streams as fuel showed to be less interesting, since fuel prices are low, due to natural gas growing offerings. About the Publication Program The Improvement Economics Program is a program that provides, by way of periodic reports, insightful and unbiased reviews on process improvement opportunities, from both a technical and economic perspective. Each report presents the following topics: opportunity description schematics, such as flow diagrams technical details, such as heat and material balances, key performance indicators environmental impact analysis capital and operating costs breakdown alternative solutions overview

Download or read book SBIR at the National Science Foundation written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-01-17 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is one of the largest examples of U.S. public-private partnerships, and was established in 1982 to encourage small businesses to develop new processes and products and to provide quality research in support of the U.S. government's many missions. The U.S. Congress tasked the National Research Council with undertaking a comprehensive study of how the SBIR program has stimulated technological innovation and used small businesses to meet federal research and development needs, and with recommending further improvements to the program. In the first round of this study, an ad hoc committee prepared a series of reports from 2004 to 2009 on the SBIR program at the five agencies responsible for 96 percent of the program's operations-including the National Science Foundation (NSF). Building on the outcomes from the first round, this second round presents the committee's second review of the NSF SBIR program's operations. Public-private partnerships like SBIR are particularly important since today's knowledge economy is driven in large part by the nation's capacity to innovate. One of the defining features of the U.S. economy is a high level of entrepreneurial activity. Entrepreneurs in the United States see opportunities and are willing and able to assume risk to bring new welfare-enhancing, wealth-generating technologies to the market. Yet, although discoveries in areas such as genomics, bioinformatics, and nanotechnology present new opportunities, converting these discoveries into innovations for the market involves substantial challenges. The American capacity for innovation can be strengthened by addressing the challenges faced by entrepreneurs.
