Abstract

A numerical study of schemes for helium recovery from high-pressure natural gas using advanced gas separation membranes has been performed. It has been shown that the optimal scheme is a two-stage design with two recirculation circuits consisting of an ordinary separator in the first stage and a recirculation scheme as the second stage.
