Overview of Membrane Reactors

The document discusses membrane reactors, which use a permeable membrane to separate reaction components or products. Membrane reactors can operate based on Le Chatelier's principle to shift chemical equilibrium via selective removal of products. They have various applications including air separation, gas treatment, and hydrogen separation. Membrane reactors provide advantages like lower costs and being environmentally friendly, but also have disadvantages like potential fouling and low selectivity.

INTRODUCTION

 DEFINITION

 PRINCIPAL

 LE-CHATLIER’S PRINCIPAL

 COMMON APPLICATION
DIAGRAM
VARIOUS FORMS

 MEMBRANE AS A CONTACTOR

 MEMBRANE AS A SEPARATING BARRIER

 MEMBRANE AS A CONTACTING AND


SEPARATING BARRIER
TYPES (BASED ON CATALYZIED REACTIONS)

 IMRCF (INERT MEMBRANE REACTOR WITH


CATALYST ON FEED SIDE )

 CMR (CATALYTIC MEMBRANE REACTOR)


BALANCES
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

 LOW COST
 EASY OPERATION
 HIGH HYDROCARBON RECOVERY
 LOW MAINTENANCE
 LOW ENERGY CONSUMPTION
 LOW WEIGHT AND SPACE REQUREMENT
ADVANTAGES

 LOWER CAPITAL COST

 LOWER OPERATING COST.

 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

 POWER GENERATION
DISADVANTAGES

 FOULING TENDENCY

 LOW MEMBRANE LIFETIME

 LOW SELECTIVITY OR FLUX

 POWER GENERATION
APPLICATIONS

 AIR SEPARATION - MAINLY N2 ENRICHED AIR

 GAS TREATMENT – ACID GAS REMOVAL

 REMOVAL OF VAPORS FROM MIXTURES WITH


LIGHT GASES.

 H2 SEPARATION – H2 FROM HYDROCARBONS,


AMMONIA PURGE
SYN GAS
CONCLUSION

 MEMBRANE SYSTEME ARE SOLID AND PROVEN


ADDITION TO THE RANGE OF TECHNOLOGIES FOR
THE REMOVAL OF GASES.

 THEY ARE EFFECTIVELY RELIABLE, EFFICIENT AND


IDEALLY SUITED TO INSTALLATION IN REMOTE
REGIONS.

 FOR APPLICATIONS REQUIRING HIGHER LEVEL S


OF GASES REMOVAL LIKE CO2, H2,H2S ETC.
