Ube to Expand Manufacture of Polyimide Hollow Fiber Membrane Gas Separation.Tokyo, Japan, Aug 11, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Ube Industries Ube Industries, Ltd. (宇部興産株式会社 Ltd., has announced plans for additional manufacturing facilities for Polyimide Pronounced "poly-ih-mid." A type of plastic (a synthetic polymeric resin) originally developed by DuPont that is very durable, easy to machine and can handle very high temperatures. Polyimide is also highly insulative and does not contaminate its surroundings (does not outgas). hollow fiber membrane gas separation, to become operational from October. Due to growing demand of nitrogen separation membrane and alcohol dehydrogenation Dehydrogenation A reaction in which hydrogen is detached from a molecule. The reaction is strongly endothermic, and therefore heat must be supplied to maintain the reaction temperature. , Ube plans to move a portion of its module facility to the Sakai Factory and increase yearly production at its second factory from 20,000 to 40,000 tons. Ube has developed unique alcohol dehydrogenation technology using organic membrane. Using this breakthrough technology, alcohol dehydrogenation is enjoying introduction to increasing number of large ethanol refinery plants in America and Europe.
