Process Intensification Using Membrane Separations, Paper360º May/June 2025

In manufacturing, separation processes driven by industrial heat (evaporators and distillation columns) account for 50 percent of energy consumption1 and, combined with high capital costs for new equipment, contribute up to 70 percent of the cost of producing a raw material or chemical, depending on the sector2. Commodity producers are also typically unwilling and/or unable to support green premiums3 to reduce energy consumption where such objectives are of political or strategic importance.

Via Separations, Watertown, MA, has delivered a product that improves the financial performance of a manufacturing facility. With Via, mills see average chemical savings of US$17/ton—complementing energy savings in regions with low fuel costs.
