Problems Associated with the Development of Gas Extraction and Similar Processes

Abstract

The potential scope and possible areas of application of gas extraction as a separation technique are outlined. Some problems to be overcome are discussed and the need for accurate physical data determinations and also operating experience at pilot plant level are stressed. Some work directed towards fulfilling these needs is described. Reliable economic, appraisal is essential before large scale design can be contemplated but is probably not practicable with sufficient accuracy until the above needs have been met.
