“Process Productivity by Sustainable Environmental Responsibility”
Petro Sep Membrane Technologies is a Canadian Company founded by a gifted Chemical Engineer, Mr. Fakhir Baig, P.Eng. whose vision of sustainable environmental responsibility puts Halton Region on the high technology roadmap. Established in 1995 as a consulting enterprise, the Company expanded into manufacturing, research and development. After ten years work with the Industrial Membrane Research Institute of the University of Ottawa, efforts with the National Research Council of Canada and the private sector, the Company incorporated in 1999. Oakville Ontario was selected as its headquarters due to the optimal business environment, access to technical and manufacturing resources, and favorable reputation with its customers. In 2002, the Company split becoming a division
of a parent company, Petro Sep International, and a partner to a new R&D entity Petro Sep Membranes Research.

“Petro Sep Membrane Technologies provides unique productivity solutions to chemical process industries.
“Companies lose millions of dollars every year through inefficient processing of raw materials” explains North American Sales Manager, Gerry Van Houdt. “Manufacturing their products at less than ideal conditions increases production time, resources and waste and drives up their operating costs”. Process optimization can significantly reduce production time, maximizes product yields and supports environmental compliance. Petro Sep Membrane Technologies works regularly with the staff at the Halton Business Development Centre to develop international markets, and steer clear of market pitfalls. “We can’t thank their Export Consultant enough for pointing us to programs and government resource staff we didn’t know about” says Mr. Baig. It’s paying off with new projects in Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In April 2003, Petro Sep International signed a joint venture agreement to begin producing environmental products in China for that marketplace. Regional Chairman Joyce Savoline and the Halton Region Staff extended their welcome and provided Regional Mementoes for the Chinese Government delegation. “This kind of enlightened government support impresses international groups and encourages them to choose to do business here”, noted Mr. Van Houdt.

Technical Details Azeo-Sep
•Semi-permeable membrane are used
•Permeate leaves membrane in vapor state
•Permeate must be volatile at operating condition
•Functions irrespective of vapor/liquid equilibrium
•Used to purify volatile chemicals
•Permeates water, methanol, ethanol or organics
•Separates mixtures that form azeotropes
•Replaces traditional separation methods
•Low energy consumption
•No entrainer required, no contamination

Azeo-Sep ApplicationsIsopropanol, ethanol: Standard applications, typically dehydrated from their azeotropes to fractions of a percent of water. Debottlenecking of entrainer plants.
Ethyl acetate, butyl acetate: Form azeotropes in the miscibility gap. Azeosep is easily the best technique for dehydration.
Acetone: Does not form an azeotrope with water but when distilled, a large reflux is required. Azeosep is ideal for final dehydration or for debottlenecking existing distillation systems.
Acetonitrile: Forms azeotrope with water, fully miscible with water. Can easily be dehydrated to low water concentrations. Avoid messing with contaminated salt solution and redistillation of salt contaminated organic phase.
Pyridine: Forms fully miscible, water rich azeotrope, easily split by pervaporation or vapor permeation. Final dehydration feasible. Avoids entrainers and messy salt/alkali solutions.
THF: Easily dehydrated by pervaporation down to a few hundred ppm of water. No messy chemicals.
MEK: Distillation is only possible with an entrainer because the azeotropic composition is nearly identical to the miscibility limit. Azeosep is far superior.
N-butanol, n-propanol: Form azeotropes with high water content so the distillation/phase separation process involves massive recycle streams. Azeosep plants are less costly to build and easier to operate.
Reaction mixtures: Remove by-product water to shift equilibrium, increase yield, speed, simplify product purification.
Acetic Acid: Difficult to remove pure water by distillation. Azeosep can remove water from acetic acid of any concentration.
Methanol, ethanol: Can be separated out of its mixture with other organics. Azeosep ideal tool for splitting of azeotropes of organics with these alcohols. No water wash, no messy salts

Conventional Distillation and Its Limitations
• Distillation is conventional method for separating and cleaning of solvent mixtures.
• The solvent mixtures are heated in distillation still(s) and the components are separated based on their boiling points.
• Distillation fails to work when the liquid mixture composition reaches to a point when boiling of the mixture does not separate them any further.
• At this point (called azeotropic point) the composition of the distillate (boiled product) stays same as in the feed (e.g 95% Ethanol / 5% water mixture).

Azeo Sep™ Breaks The Separation Barrier
Separation by Azeo Sep™ technology is not limited by fluids volatility differences or ease of vaporization
The purity of the treated solvents can challenge the purity of the virgin solvents
It can very economically separate the azeotropic mixture of solvents and obtain high level of purity
