Scale-Up of Hydrogen Transport Membranes
Project No.: DE-FC26-05NT42469
Eltron Research and Development, Inc. is testing energy efficient industrial carbon capture and storage (ICCS) using a hydrogen (H2) transport membrane (HTM) system for H2 separation and carbon dioxide (CO2) capture from shifted synthesis gas–primarily a mixture of H2 and CO2. Funded by the American Recovery Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), this project is accelerating development and scale-up of the ongoing H2 membrane technology research and development (R&D). Specifically, this project is focused on accelerating the current R&D work scope of the base program-funded project, involving tests at 250 lb/day scale and scale-up of membrane manufacturing. This project's scope includes the site selection, design, construction, and operation of a nominally 4 to 10 tons-per-day (TPD) Pre-Commercial Module (PCM) H2 separation membrane system. The system separates H2 from gasified carbon-based fuels, enabling energy efficient capture of CO2. Eltron is updating process models and techno-economic analysis and is including studies on integration of this technology as viable industrial applications with CCS. The R&D effort is substantially accelerating the design and scale-up of HTM technology, and the analyses of cost, performance, and operating data for future HTM-ICCS integrated clean energy systems.
