Estimating the effect of the main design parameters on the effectiveness of high-purity hydrogen production from raw hydrocarbons in membrane catalytic devices

Abstract

The paper presents the results of the application of a physically grounded mathematical model, verified through numerous practical examples, intended for estimating the effect of some design factors (membrane thickness and the system of high-purity hydrogen outlet from the under-membrane space of membrane elements) on the effectiveness and efficiency of the production of highly pure hydrogen from the products of steam conversion of hydrocarbons in advanced membrane catalytic devices.
