Device for extracting gaseous and liquid products from a reaction fluid

A device for extracting gaseous reaction products and liquid reaction products from a reaction fluid, from an electrochemical reaction system, the device comprising:

• at least one inlet feeding for reaction fluid into the device;
• at least one outlet for exiting a fluid depleted of said gaseous reaction products and liquid reaction products out of the device;
• a first compartment comprising a first membrane supported on a first porous material and configured to separate the gaseous reaction products from the reaction fluid using the first membrane;
• and
• a second compartment comprising a second membrane supported on a second material and configured to separate the liquid reaction products from the reaction fluid using the second membrane;
• a capillary tube system configured to guide the reaction fluid from the inlet and into the first compartment whereby the reaction fluid contacts the first membrane and the gaseous reaction products separate from the reaction fluid and to subsequently guide the reaction fluid into the second compartment whereby the reaction fluid contacts the second compartment and the liquid reaction products separates from the reaction fluid;
• wherein the capillary tube system fluidly connects the first compartment to the second compartment;
• a first negative pressure source connected to the first compartment and configured to apply, in operation, a first sub-atmospheric pressure to the first membrane whereby the gaseous reaction products transfer through the first membrane;
• and
• a second negative pressure source connected to the second compartment and configured to apply, in operation, a second sub-atmospheric pressure to the second membrane whereby the liquid reaction products transfer through the second membrane.
