Monomer recovery unit
Effectively recover valuable monomers while ensuring high purity and low operating pressures, ideal for maximizing efficiency in your chemical processing lines.

Recovers and Purifies Monomers from Hydrocarbons and Nitrogen
The BORSIG Monomer Recovery Unit leverages the cutting-edge capabilities of BORSIG Membrane Technology GmbH to streamline and enhance the separation of hydrocarbons and nitrogen in various industrial applications. This specialized system efficiently recovers monomers like ethylene and propylene, vital for manufacturing polyethylene and polypropylene, through a process combining membrane separation with compression, condensation, and heating stages. Ideal for sectors such as petrochemical and industrial gas production, the unit’s modular design allows easy integration into existing plants and offers flexibility for handling multiple component streams.
Operating at moderate pressures and temperatures, the system ensures safe, reliable, and low-maintenance performance. Its package unit design enables quick installation and seamless adaptation to specific plant conditions and local regulations. The membrane technology optimizes nitrogen purification, while the hydrocarbon-enriched permeate stream supports further processing or improved condensation. The BORSIG Monomer Recovery Unit is a robust solution for industries seeking to enhance recovery rates and achieve high product purities, contributing to more sustainable and efficient production processes.
