BGX – Membrane System  For removal of CO 2 and H 2 O from biogas and/or natural gas  Two types of membranes for biogas/natural gas separation, cellulose acetate (CA) spiral wound and polyimide (PI) hollow fiber membranes Xebec is working with a polyimide hollow fiber membrane developed by Evonik Industries  Xebec provides single, double and three stage membrane separation units, depending on customer requirements (considering cost, recovery and purity) MEMBRANE RETENTATE FEED Methane Methane High Pressure Carbon Dioxide High Pressure PERMEATE Carbon Dioxide Low Pressure www.xebecinc.com 24

BGX – Membrane System  CO 2 , H 2 O and CH 4 are separated due to different permeation rates  Gas flow is sent in at a higher pressure to provide driving force (typical operating pressure is usually between 10-20 bar) 25 www.xebecinc.com
