A catalytic membrane reactor for facilitating the water-gas shift reaction at high temperature
This program is directed toward the development of a metal-membrane-based process for the economical production of hydrogen at elevated temperature by the reaction of carbon monoxide with steam--i.e., the water-gas shift (WGS) reaction. Key to achieving this objective is the development of an inexpensive and durable metal-membrane module. The specific program objectives include the following: design, fabrication, and demonstration of prototype membrane modules; improving the membrane composition to increase the hydrogen flux; demonstrating that membrane lifetime {ge}2 years is likely to be achieved; and conducting engineering and economic analyses of the process. Results to date are given and discussed.
