Chemical Engineering - Membrane Separation
During this course you will go through the entire process of membrane separation and discover the best application in your chemical working environment.
Membrane processes, types, equipment and flow patterns
During the course the basics of membrane-based separation techniques like transport mechanism and driving force are dealt with. Also different membrane materials, types and modules are explained.
Membrane-based separation is a technology that can save energy and has lower costs. It makes use of compact and economical modules with high surface area per unit volume. In this way it promotes green transformation of chemical industry.
You learn about the different types of membranes. Polymeric membranes, versatile, cheap and robust, do not operate well at high temperatures. Inorganics membranes can operate at high temperature, can have functional pores which make them highly selective, manufacturing is still an issue (stability, cracks). Hybrid membranes combine properties of both.
For membrane gas separation the process design and novel membranes like supported liquid membranes will be explored.
Apply membrane separation in practice
Topics that are dealt with during the course:
- Permeability, permeance, selectivity and the relation to temperature.
- Describe the three common types of equipment used for gas-permeation membrane processes.
- Design of a membrane process.
- Solve general transport equation, driving forces and mass transfer in membrane separation.
- Describe the four ideal flow patterns in a membrane separator and, for each respective model, solve numerically for the membrane area.
Intended for
The course is meant for engineers, technologists, designers with a chemical, process, technological or mechanical background on bachelor or master level.
Within the program you can take six other courses. View them all on the page Chemical Engineering.

Frequently asked questions
In-company
Are several employees interested in the same course, do you want to enrich knowledge with the entire team or focus on your own practice? Then an in-company course could be interesting. We are happy to think along with you about the possibilities. PAOTM has extensive experience in organizing in-company courses in many technical fields for a wide range of companies. You can choose to have an existing course organized in-company for multiple employees. However, if you have a specific organizational or departmental issue, we can also design a unique course. For every customized request, we search our network at universities, knowledge institutes and the business community for the right teachers who can provide your team with the desired knowledge. We then put together a course based on your training needs, learning needs and organizational goals.
