This work study the performance and characterize polyimide hollow fiber membranes for the separation of CO2-CH- C5H12 at difference pressure and feed composition as well as the effect of heavy hydrocarbon gas C5H12 on membrane performance. In Malaysia, approximately 13 trillion ft³ of high CO2 natural gas field are uneconomical to be developed. Development of high CO2 gas fields requires prudent management of carbon dioxide capture, transportation, and storage to enable commercialization of these fields. Research conducted on CO2 separation using membrane is limited especially on multicomponent and involving heavy hydrocarbon gas. Scope of experimental study focus on pure gas, gas mixture with and without heavy hydrocarbon gas C5H12 as well as varies the feed pressure from 10 bar to 18 bar and CO2 feed composition from 10% to 90%.
