MW/JLB/90B103 ABSTRACT GAS SEPARATION APPARATUS A membrane gas separation apparatus, typically for separating air, includes a gas separation all 14 containing an array of membranes in the form of hollow fibres 18. The cell 14 has a first gas port 16 and a second gas port 20. Flow of gas to and from the ports 16 and 20 is controlled by a four-port, two-position valve 12. In one position, the valve 12 admits incoming air to the port 16 and allows product nitrogen to flow out of the port 20. In the other position the roles of the ports 16 and 20 are reversed and hence the direction of flow of the gas is reversed. During prolonged operation, there is a tendency for contaminants to affect disproportionately the feed gas inlet and of the membrane fibres 18. By periodically changing the position of the valve 12, different ends of the membrane fibres 18 are presented to the feed gas, and thus the operating life of the membranes 18 is lengthened.
