Gas permeation processes are examined in various systems. The permeation of single gases is examined in pressure rise and time-lag systems as a function of pressure and temperature. To capture this behavior at higher pressures test cell equipment is used.
For the recording of the permeation behavior of gas mixtures different systems are available that allow an operating pressure of up to 50 bar.

The operation of membrane modules equipped with new membrane developments is studied in pilot plants. These are both stationary as well as portable. By the use of liquid ring machines, a saturation of the feed gas with, for example, water is provided.
