A method and system for blending components obtained from a feed stock.
The method includes flowing a first stream through a membrane member,
with the membrane member having a first wafer assembly comprising a first
thin film polymer membrane, a first permeate zone, and heat transfer
means for transferring heat from the first permeate zone to the polymer
membrane. The method includes exposing the first stream to the polymer
membrane and providing a heated fluid to the heat transfer means in order
to heat the permeate zone and the polymer membrane as the first stream is
being flown through the first wafer assembly. The method further includes
removing a permeate stream from the permeate zone. The permeate stream
may be conducted to at least one refinery process unit for further
processing. In the preferred embodiment, the feed stock is a naphtha. The
system includes a wafer assembly adapted to receive the first stream,
with the first wafer assembly comprising a plurality of wafers, and a
first and second membrane member having a thin film polymer member. The
system also includes heat transfer means for heating a permeate zone and
the polymer membrane, as the first stream is being flown through the
wafer assembly, and means for processing the produced permeate.
