Ceramic Membrane Reactors for Converting Natural Gas to Hydrogen
Project Summary
| Full Title: |
Ceramic Membrane Reactor Systems for Converting Natural Gas to Hydrogen (ITM Syngas) |
| Project ID: |
144 |
| Principal Investigator: |
Christopher Chen |
| Brief Description: |
This project is developing ceramic membrane reactor systems for converting natural gas to hydrogen and synthesis gas for liquid transportation fuels. |
| Keywords: |
natural gas; hydrogen; syngas; ceramic; liquid |
Purpose
A new air separation technology—Ion Transport Membrane Oxygen (ITM)—is an enabler for advanced clean power and can reduce the cost of gasification. ITM is based on ceramic membranes that selectively transport oxygen ions when operated at high temperature.

Hydrogen Fuel Pathways |
| Methodology/Approach: |
Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. is working towards developing ceramic membrane reactor systems for converting natural gas to hydrogen and synthesis gas for liquid transportation fuels. The reactor is intended to be scaled up through pilot-scale testing and pre-commercial demonstration. Technical, engineering, operational and economic data necessary for full commercialization is being collected and analyzed. |
| Outputs: |
By integrating the oxygen-depleted, non-permeate stream with a gas turbine system, the overall process co-produces high-purity oxygen, power, and steam if desired. |
