DESCRIPTION:William J. Koros\, Georgia Institute of Technology\, School of
  Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\nAbundant natural gas has recently 
 provided new opportunities for the chemical processing industry in so-call
 ed “upstream” and “downstream” hydrocarbon process sectors. Upstre
 am processes refer to extraction and production of raw materials\, while d
 ownstream processes refer to those closer to the end user or consumer. Alt
 hough current technology is effective in both sectors\, it still relies pr
 imarily upon energy-intensive processes for key separations. This presenta
 tion will explain why advanced polymer-derived membranes\, in asymmetric h
 ollow fiber forms\, can provide significant positive changes across the se
 paration spectrum to reduce energy intensity and carbon dioxide emissions.
  To achieve such changes\, merging fundamental science and engineering pri
 nciples to translate different polymer-derived membrane materials into pra
 ctical modules is necessary and will be described. Challenges and opportun
 ities to actually introduce such membranes in large-scale processes will a
 lso be considered.
