<p>A pervaporation apparatus and process adapted to handle a diverse range of feed stream compositions and volumes. The apparatus includes a pervaporation unit (1) and condenser (8) one or more tanks, for instance a process tank (5), a holding tank (10), a second process tank (16), a concentrate tank (24), and a control system (28) to direct liquid flows within the apparatus according to the chosen processing scheme. The apparatus and process can achieve separation performance comparable to a one-stage, two-stage, two-step or more complicated pervaporation system, including those in which two-phase permeates are produced.</p> |
