MSS membranes are a good candidate for CO cleanup in fuel cell fuel processing systems due to their ability to selectively permeate H2 over CO via molecular sieving. Successfully scaled up tubular membranes were stable under dry conditions to 400°C with H2 permeance as high as 2 x 10 -6 mol.m.s.Pa at 200°C and H2/CO selectivity up to 6.4, indicating molecular sieving was the dominant mechanism....

hydrocarbons are prone to bacterial and fungal contamination. bacteria and fungi live and proliferate in water droplets within the fuels and on surfaces surrounding them. this can cause corrosion in oil exploration and production, clogging of fuel lines in aviation and higher emissions in diesel combustion engines to state few examples. state-of-the-art is the addition of biocides to fuels, whi...

Th is paper deals w ith the cons iderat ions involved in des ign ing a system to burn shredded m Un ic ipal sol id waste and to recovering its heat values. It de­ scribes how the various components such as fuel processing, fuel feeding, burn ing, ash handl ing and gas clean ing e qu ipment must be integrated w ith the bo iler design .
