Abstract
A novel concept for hydrogen generation by methane steam reforming (SR) in a thermally coupled catalytic fixed bed membrane reformer was demonstrated. The reformer indirectly couples the endothermic methane SR and the exothermic methane oxidation by heat exchange between the compartments, while hydrogen is separated by a permselective Pd membrane. Good SR conversion was realized when the dimensionless ratio of methane feed to membrane hydrogen maximal flux was 0.3 or smaller and when steam to carbon ratio was below 3. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 8th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Montreal, Quebec, Canada 8/23-27/2009).
