Calculating the main parameters of a membrane reformer with a production rate of 40 m3/h designed for producing highly pure hydrogen from natural gas

Abstract

The main design and technological parameters of a membrane reformer with a production rate of 40 m 3 H 2 /h, including its static flow rate characteristic, are quantitatively estimated on the basis of a mathematical model of membrane extraction of highly pure hydrogen from hydrocarbon steam conversion products. It is shown that the calculation results are in good agreement with the data found in the literature on testing a membrane reformer designed for producing highly pure hydrogen from natural gas.
