GPA founded in the US in the 1920's. In 1983, GPA Europe was established as a parallel organisation.

We currently have over 200 members, including the great majority of European gas companies. We aim to provide a forum to share ideas by bringing together business and technical leaders from a range of gas processing organisations across 20+ countries.

We are a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to advancing gas processing, LNG, hydrogen, carbon capture, and associated energy technologies across Europe and beyond.

We bring together students, engineers, technical specialists, business leaders, and operating companies to share knowledge, develop best practices, and shape the future of the gas and energy transition industries.

Here at GPAE , our role is two-fold:

1  GPAE promotes technical and operational excellence

2  GPAE serves as a forum for the exchange of ideas and information

This month we are looking back at the most-viewed Past Paper from last month’s Library activity, presented by Davide Bocciardo, Fujifilm at the GPAE Annual Conference 2022 in Paris.

“Improvement of Process Efficiency for Natural Gas Applications by Fujifilm Apura™ Gas Separation Membranes”

Membrane-based gas separation is gaining wider acceptance across the Oil & Gas industry, increasingly competing with conventional purification technologies such as amine towers, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA), and cryogenic distillation.

This paper explores how Fujifilm’s Apura™ gas separation membranes deliver improved process efficiency for natural gas applications. Case studies from natural gas operator deployments show the Apura™ membranes achieving superior performance compared to competitor gas separation membranes, driving plant efficiency improvements alongside reductions in CO₂ and volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions.
