IV.A.11 Ceramic Membrane Reactor Systems for Converting Natural Gas to Hydrogen and Synthesis Gas (ITM Syngas)
نویسندگان
چکیده
• Research, develop and demonstrate the Ion Transport Membrane (ITM) Syngas ceramic membrane reactor system for the low-cost conversion of natural gas to hydrogen and synthesis gas. • Scale-up the ITM Syngas reactor technology through three levels of pilot-scale testing and precommercial demonstration. • Obtain the technical, engineering, operating and economic data necessary for the final step to full commercialization of the ITM Syngas technology.

Reactor for Conversion of Syngas to Liquid Hydrocarbons
The recent rise in crude oil price forces us to look for alternative energy sources. The most sensible direction of this search is natural gas upgrading to liquid hydrocarbons via a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas). Hydrogenation of CO to liquid hydrocarbons has been known since 1923 as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). Great R&D efforts have been made all over the world to devel...
متن کاملConceptual Design of an Autonomous Once-through Gas-to- Liquid Process with Microchannel Fischer-Tropsch Reactors
Converting remote natural gas to liquid fuel is one possible solution to the problem of transporting remote gas to the energy market. However, the high investment cost of gas-to-liquid (GTL) plants prevents large scale exploitation of remote gas reserves. A lean GTL is suggested based on an autothermal reformer with enriched air as oxidant and a once-through Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. In order ...
متن کاملReverse Flow Catalytic Membrane Reactors for Energy Efficient Syngas Production
Natural gas is becoming an increasingly important energy source, due to the increasing energy demands and declining oil reserves, whereas large volumes of natural gas are still widely available at remote locations. In view of the existing infrastructure for liquid fuels, natural gas is most efficiently used in the transport sector by converting it to liquid fuels via the Gas-To-Liquid process. ...
متن کاملSynthesis of a Multilayer Ceramic Membrane Used for Hydrogen Separation at High Temperature
A multilayer composite ceramic membrane was prepared by depositing a nano-scale layer of SiO2 on top of a modified porous alumina support by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The modification of the support was carried out by adding a graded layer of Al2O3 (γ-alumina phase), using sol-gel method. An optimized temperature of 700 K for intermediate layer calcination was gained by XRD analys...
متن کاملInvestigation of Syngas Production from Waste Gas and Ratio Adjustment using a Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis Reactor
In this study, a reformer model simulation to use refinery (Farashband refinery, Iran) waste natural gas. In the petroleum and allied sectors where natural gas is being encountered (in form of associated gas) without prior preparation for its positive use, its combustion (which takes place in flares, an equipment through which they are being disposed) has become a great problem because of its a...
