| description |
Pemisahan CO2 daripada gas asli (NG) telah menarik minat penyelidikan kerana
permintaan tenaga yang semakin meningkat dan keperluan teknik penulenan gas yang lebih
cekap dan mesra alam. Kebanyakan NG dihasilkan bersama CO2 yang perlu disingkirkan
demi untuk meningkatkan nilai kalorinya. Teknologi membran merupakan salah satu
teknologi yang digunakan secara meluas untuk penyingkiran CO2. Walau bagaimanapun,
pasarannya masih kecil berbanding proses-proses pemisahan gas yang lain. Ini adalah kerana
penggunaan bahan-bahan membran dengan prestasi pemisahan yang rendah dan keadaan
pengoperasian modul yang tidak optimum. Pengoptimuman bersistematik bagi setiap
peringkat penyediaan membran dan operasi modul bertekanan tinggi telah dicadangkan untuk
menyelesaikan masalah tersebut.Salah satu cabaran utama operasi bertekanan tinggi adalah
fenomena kesan penusukan pemplastikan yang disebabkan oleh peningkatan tekanan suapan.
Polimer komersil polisulfona telah diubahsuai untuk mengoptimumkan prestasi
pemisahannya. Kajian bertekanan tinggi dan pemodelan matematik telah dijalankan untuk
menilai prestasi pemisahan membran. Bagi mewujudkan tekanan suapan yang tertinggi
semasa penyingkiran CO2 tanpa pemplastikan, ciri-ciri pemisahan membran telah dikaji
menggunakan ujian penelapan pada tekanan mencecah 57 bar. Kajian dinamik bagi prestasi
membran juga dilakukan menggunakan ujikaji penelapan bagi tempoh masa antara 5 hingga
1080 jam (45 hari) dengan pelbagai tekanan antara 6 hingga 57 bar. Model matematik telah
dibangunkan berdasarkan teori “dual-sorption” dan model keseluruhan tidak bergerak. Proses
pengoptimuman untuk pemilihan membran telah dicapai dengan menggunakan kaedah
pengoptimuman pelbagai objektif, manakala keadaan operasi modul dicapai menggunakan
model pengaturcaraan pengoptimuman kekangan non-linear dan algoritma “Golden search”
yang dilaksanakan menggunakan MATLAB.
Tekanan pemplastikan bagi membran yang disediakan adalah 41.07 bar manakala
kebolehtelapan dan kememilihan pada tekanan ini adalah masing-masing 5.99 Barrer, dan
44.19. Ini merupakan peningkatan sebanyak 17.65% bagi tekanan pemplastikan dan 66.39%
bagi kebolehtelapan. Walau bagaimanapun, membran tersebut kehilangan kira-kira 79.65%
kebolehtelapannya pada tekanan ini manakala kememilihannya meningkat sebanyak 91.13%
jika dibanding dengan nilai pada 5 bar. Ujian kebolehtelapan yang bergantung kepada masa
mendedahkan bahawa tekanan pemplastikan sebagai titik keseimbangan boleh digunakan
sebagai kekangan dalam pengoptimuman proses pemisahan gas membran. Model matematik
yang dibangunkan menunjukkan keupayaan ramalan yang sangat baik untuk tekanan
pemplastikan. Pemilihan bahan membran juga didapati mampu dioptimumkan dengan cekap
dengan menggunakan kaedah pengoptimuman multi-objektif.

Separation of CO2 from natural gas (NG) has attracted research interest due to
increasing demand for energy and the need for more energy efficient and environmental
friendly gas purification techniques. Most of the NG is coproduced with CO2 which need to
be removed in order to increase its calorific value. Membrane separation is one of the widely
used technologies for CO2 removal. However, its market share is still very small as compared
to other gas separation processes. This is due to the use of membrane materials with poor
separation performance and the use of non-optimum module operating conditions.
Systematic optimization of every stage of membrane preparation and high pressure module
operation was proposed to solve this problem. One major challenge of high pressure
operation is penetrant-induced plasticization phenomenon which is caused by increasing the
feed pressure.
Commercial polysulfone polymer was modified to optimize its separation
performance. High pressure experimental studies and mathematical modeling were
performed to evaluate the separation performance of the membrane. To establish the highest
possible feed pressure which can be attained during CO2 removal without plasticization,
transport properties of the membrane were evaluated using permeation tests at pressure up to
57 bar. Also, dynamic evaluation of membrane performance was performed using timedependent
permeation experiments over a period ranging from 5 hours to 1080 hours (45
days) at various pressures between 6 and 57 bar. Mathematical model was developed based on the theory of dual-sorption and the total immobilization models. The optimization for
membrane selection was achieved using a multi-objective optimization method while that of
module operating conditions was achieved using non-linear programming constraint
optimization model and a Golden search algorithm which was implemented using MATLAB.
The plasticization pressure of the prepared membrane is 41.07 bar while the
permeability and selectivity at this pressure are 5.99 Barrer, and 44.19 respectively. This is
equivalent to a 17.65% and 66.39% increase in plasticization pressure and permeability,
respectively. However, the membrane lost about 79.65% of its permeability at this pressure
while its selectivity increased by 91.13% as compared to the value at 5 bar. The timedependent
permeability tests revealed plasticization pressure as possible equilibrium point
which can be used as constraint during membrane gas separation process optimization. The
mathematical model developed showed an excellent predictive capability for plasticization
pressure. It was also shown that membrane materials selection can be efficiently optimized
using the multi – objective optimization approach.
