Abstracts Membrane processes are typically analyzed to determine the most energy efficient and cost effective configurations and operating conditions. This can be achieved through simulation and optimization to identify the optimal designs for each case. In this study, a new approach is suggested for the visual analysis and comparison of the economic performance of different membrane configurations. The new methodology generates response surfaces for each configuration that can be used to show ranges of possible solutions. These solution surfaces can then be compared to show the conditions, under which each configuration become beneficial. This is demonstrated here through a case study using hollow fiber membrane separation systems to reduce the concentrations of CO 2 in natural gas.

膜设计的经济响应模型

摘要 通常分析膜过程以确定最节能和最具成本效益的配置和操作条件。这可以通过模拟和优化来实现，以确定每种情况的最佳设计。在这项研究中，提出了一种新方法，用于对不同膜配置的经济性能进行可视化分析和比较。新方法为每个配置生成响应面，可用于显示可能解决方案的范围。然后可以比较这些解表面以显示每种配置变得有利的条件。此处通过使用中空纤维膜分离系统降低天然气中 CO 2 浓度的案例研究证明了这一点。
