Light olefins production is a multi-billion-dollar commodity industry. The olefin/paraffin separation process is energy-intensive with high capital costs. Membrane technology exhibits a high potential for olefin/paraffin separation because of its ability to take advantage of thermodynamic and kinetic mechanisms, an absence of phase change and the flexible membrane structures. Imtex Membrane Corporation (Imtex) is a cleantech company that separates and purifies olefins from paraffin using their proprietary Permylene technology. Imtex requires less energy and produces less waste than traditional methods, lowering operational expenses by up to 50%. Imtex has approached the Environmental Technologies (ET) research group at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) to advance regeneration and pre-treatment procedures to 1) improve a compromised membrane; 2) evaluate the metal cation reactivity under various streams; 3) investigate the reaction rates and implications of specific components in pre-determined process conditions.

轻质烯烃生产是一个价值数十亿美元的大宗商品产业。烯烃/石蜡分离过程是能源密集型的，资本成本高。膜技术在烯烃/石蜡分离方面具有很高的潜力，因为它能够利用热力学和动力学机制、不存在相变以及灵活的膜结构。 Imtex Membrane Corporation (Imtex) 是一家清洁技术公司，利用其专有的 Permylene 技术从石蜡中分离和纯化烯烃。与传统方法相比，Imtex 需要的能源更少，产生的废物也更少，运营费用最多可降低 50%。 Imtex 已与南阿尔伯塔理工学院 (SAIT) 的环境技术 (ET) 研究小组接洽，以推进再生和预处理程序，以 1) 改善受损的膜； 2）评估各种物流下金属阳离子的反应活性； 3) 研究预定工艺条件下特定组分的反应速率和影响。
