Products & Team
Optiperm™ Platform
The Optiperm™ platform is a membrane-based separation technology that delivers modular, bolt-on solutions for existing industrial facilities. Its primary applications are point-source carbon capture in hard-to-abate sectors and boosting production efficiency in olefin separations for petrochemical plants.
The platform helps heavy industrial operators reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while increasing production capacity and recovering valuable product streams. It provides a less complex and more cost-effective pathway to decarbonization and process intensification compared to building new facilities or using energy-intensive conventional methods.
Customers face challenges with high energy costs, significant greenhouse gas emissions, operational complexity of traditional capture technologies, and the economic loss of valuable products in waste streams. They seek cost-effective solutions to improve efficiency and meet decarbonization targets without major capital-intensive plant retrofits.
