Despite a high degree of gas flow purification and the high productivity of this process, there is a problem of thermo-oxidative degradation of the absorption solution. Degradation products are thermally stable and tend to accumulate within the system, resulting in significant operational problems. One of the promising approaches to the regeneration of alkanolamine absorbents is combining of membrane filtration and electrodialysis. This paper presents the first study of the effect of the pore size of a membrane used for prefiltration of an alkanolamine absorbent on the efficiency of the removal of heat-stable salts (HSS) by electrodialysis. Our findings indicate that both the initial HSS content and the effectiveness of their extraction vary depending on the alkanolamine type. Such variation is determined by the different mechanisms of a resin formation in absorbent solutions depending on the alkanolamine type. It was shown that decreasing the pore size and transition from microfiltration to nanofiltration enhances the degree of HSS extraction from 55 to 65% for classical electrodialysis and up to 87% for bipolar electrodialysis. To address the issue of fouling in ion-exchange membranes, a sequential washing with acid and alkaline solutions has been proposed.

In the first design case, the catalyst-filled tube was heated with a flue gas as it was injected from the flame burner (at an excess air ratio of 2.3) through an annular channel that enclosed the tube. In the second design case, the heat was provided by a cylindrical IR burner panel (at an excess air ratio of 1.05) that enclosed the tube. Using mathematical modeling, the performance of both reformer cases was compared, with all other parameters being equal. The IR-burner-based reformer exceeded its flue-gas-heated counterpart in terms of methane conversion, heat recovery efficiency (about twofold for both parameters), the percentage of radiant heat transfer (by a factor of about 2.3), and fuel enthalpy increase (6–7% higher in the second case). When the operating load was tripled, the reformer integrated with the IR burner exhibited a lesser performance drop (regarding all the parameters mentioned above) than the conventionally heated reformer (in particular, the methane conversion declined by 8% in the second design case and by 18% in the first).
