Productized platform
VOC-SEP®
VOC-SEP® turns volatile organic compounds from a permit liability into a recoverable raw material. Built on Petro Sep's pervaporation and vapor permeation membranes, the system captures solvents from process water and exhaust streams at >98%, returning them to your line as virgin-equivalent. Most installations pay back inside two years on solvent purchase and disposal savings alone.
VOC-SEP® delivers
Predictable performance, every install.
Productized does not mean compromised. VOC-SEP® hits the same numbers across every commissioning, because the platform was tuned to the applications that asked for it most.
- VOC capture rate
- >98%
- 100% of separated components recovered, per Petro Sep VOC-SEP® specification. Validated across IPA, ethanol, methanol, MEK, acetone, ethyl acetate, and several proprietary solvents.
- Recovered solvent purity
- >99.5 wt%
- Direct reuse in production for most operators. No re-distillation step needed.
- Emissions
- Zero air or water emissions
- Closed-loop architecture: nothing vents to atmosphere, nothing discharges to drain.
- Payback period (typical)
- 12 to 24 months
- Solvent purchase and hazardous-waste disposal savings combined.

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 technology is proven in 100+ commissioned projects, not a science experiment.
- 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.
