With industrial demands growing for better separation and/or purification in chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and other areas, membrane technology has been attracting more and more attention. This article examines many of the smaller scale operations that are now using membrane technology or are seen as potential application areas. An earlier C and EN article, focused on efforts to develop and expand applications for some of the more conventional operations employing membranes in high-volume industrial separations.
