Separation processes are a critical component of the chemical industry. Olefin/Paraffin separations are one of the most industrially relevant separations for the production of plastics. Globally, 150 million metric tons of ethylene and 130 million metric tons of propylene are produced each year. Pressure swing adsorption, membrane separations, and cryogenic distillation are three methods that can be used to separate olefins from paraffins for the production of plastics.
