N2  - In a recent bench-scale study the vapor permeation-based removal of individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs), e.g. methanol, toluene from an N2 stream was studied using microporous polypropylene hollow fibers having a plasma polymerized silicone coating on the outside surface of the fiber. The novel vapor permeation process employed bore-side feed flow and vacuum on the shell-side. The observed separation behavior was described successfully by an analytical solution of a simpler model and by a numerical solution of a more extensive set of model equations based on experimentally-determined behavior of concentration-dependent VOC permeance. The remarkably high separation performance achieved in that study on a bench-scale has led to pilot-plant studies using a larger module. Results of pilot-plant studies using streams containing high concentrations of VOCs, (e.g. 1-8
