Productized platform
VOC-SEP®
VOC-SEP® turns volatile organic compounds from a disposal liability into a recoverable raw material. Built on Petro Sep's hydrophobic pervaporation membranes, the system removes VOCs at 0.2 to 10% concentration from industrial process streams and wastewater, recovers 100% of the separated components for reuse, and returns them to the front-end process. Most installations pay back inside two years on solvent purchase and disposal savings alone.
VOC-SEP® delivers
What the platform delivers.
Productized does not mean compromised. VOC-SEP® was tuned to the applications that asked for it most.
- Separated components recovered
- 100%
- Recovered for reuse, or for landfill in the case of solids, per Petro Sep's VOC-SEP® data. Handles VOCs such as acetone, benzene, ethanol, ethyl acetate, isopropanol, MTBE, and THF.
- Recovered solvent purity
- >99.5 wt%
- Petro Sep rates its membrane platforms as highly selective, above 99.5% purity on target compounds, with product recovered to reusable quality.
- Emissions
- Zero air or water emissions
- Closed-loop architecture: nothing vents to atmosphere, nothing discharges to drain.

Built on
Pervaporation.
Selective separation of liquid mixtures, including the azeotropes that distillation cannot break.
VOC-SEP® is the productized application of our pervaporation and vapor permeation technologies. The technology pages are where engineers go for the working principle, full specs, and how each process compares to alternatives.
Why this matters to a buyer
- The system is the same platform we already ship at scale; no first-of-a-kind risk.
- If a custom configuration is needed beyond the standard envelope, we engineer it on the same platform.
