Five Ways to Deploy Permylene™
Transforming waste gases into premium margin through capital-light and energy efficient upgrades.
Deployment modes
1 · Capture Purge Streams
Polymer plants and refineries vent gas streams that still carry recoverable olefins are usually flared or burned as fuel. Permylene™ intercepts that stream before it's lost, typically recovering ethylene-rich olefin content and turning a waste stream into a product stream.
2 · Upgrade & Extract Olefins
Refinery-grade and chemical-grade propylene streams can be upgraded to polymer-grade purity, and C4 raffinate streams — butene and related olefins — separated out, turning lower-value streams into sellable, polymer-ready product.
3 · Debottleneck Distillation
Adding one or more modular Permylene™ systems alongside an existing distillation train increases separation capacity without building a new column. This delivers more throughput from the same footprint at a higher energy efficiency.
4 · Hybridize Distillation
Installed in series with an existing column, Permylene™ takes on part of the separation load, reducing the energy requirement of the distillation train to achieve the same purity.
5 · Electrify Separation
At larger scale, Permylene™ can replace a distillation column or 100+ Tray Super-Fractionator. This electrifies a separation process and cuts emissions by >80%, while also improving energy efficiency and generating higher margin products in a CapEx-efficient package.
These five deployment modes draw on the same three markets already proven in the field — vent-gas recovery, C3 upgrading, and C4 extraction (see Home).
