Abstract
A membrane separation system includes a membrane separator including a separation membrane. The membrane separator has a first flow path and a second flow path. A mixed gas is to be supplied to the first flow path. The mixed gas contains: a permeate gas that is allowed to permeate through the separation membrane; and a condensable component in a gaseous state. The permeate gas that has permeated through the separation membrane is allowed to flow through the second flow path. The membrane separation system is configured so that the condensable component in a liquid state is present in a downstream end portion of the first flow path in a direction of passage of the mixed gas.
Claims9
A membrane separation system, comprising a membrane separator including a separation membrane,
- wherein the membrane separator has:
- a first flow path to which a mixed gas containing:
- a permeate gas that is allowed to permeate through the separation membrane;
- and a condensable component in a gaseous state is to be supplied;
- and
- a second flow path through which the permeate gas that has permeated through the separation membrane is allowed to flow, and
- wherein the membrane separation system is configured so that the condensable component in a liquid state is present in a downstream end portion of the first flow path in a direction of passage of the mixed gas.
