Title: ASU nitrogen sweep gas in hydrogen separation membrane for production of HRSG duct burner fuel

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1083930

The present invention relates to the use of low pressure N2 from an air separation unit (ASU) for use as a sweep gas in a hydrogen transport membrane (HTM) to increase syngas H2 recovery and make a near-atmospheric pressure (less than or equal to about 25 psia) fuel for supplemental firing in the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) duct burner.
