Air Products’ PRISM® Membranes division, based in St Louis, Missouri, has received Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) certification from DNV GL Business Assurance Italia S.r.l. for its newest line of biogas membrane separators.

“This certification confirms that our biogas separation product meets the European standards for design, manufacture and safe operation of pressurised equipment,” said Biogas Business Manager, Greg Malcolm. “Air Products is a leading manufacturer of gas separation membranes, and this certification builds on our commitment to the European biogas market.”

The PRISM® Membrane Separators are manufactured exclusively at Air Products’ facility in St Louis. The biogas separators contain polymeric hollow fibres that use selective permeation to separate biogas into two enriched streams of biomethane and carbon dioxide.

PRISM Membranes is dedicated to developing preferred partners by offering separation products that can be engineered into complete systems. By leveraging partners around the world, Air Products reaches local markets more effectively, where local regulations require specific engineering protocols.
