Abstract
A shell and tube reactor module for hydrogen production is provided. The shell and tube reactor module includes a reactor having a shell side, at least one palladium membrane tube as a tubular section, and a steam reforming catalyst in the shell side, wherein the at least one palladium membrane tube has one sealed end located at upstream of flowing path
Claims17
A shell and tube reactor module for hydrogen production, comprising:
- a reactor having a shell side, at least one palladium membrane tube as a tubular section, and a steam reforming catalyst section in said shell side;
- and
- a catalytic combustion section having an oxidation catalyst dispersed on a supporting material and surrounding the steam reforming catalyst section,
- wherein said at least one palladium membrane tube has one sealed end located at upstream of flowing path, and said oxidation catalyst is formed by a noble metal with boron nitride.
An assembly of shell and tube reactor modules for hydrogen production, comprising a reactor splitting into two reactor sections and having a common shell, wherein each of said reactor sections has at least one palladium membrane tube as a tubular section and a steam reforming catalyst section;
- and
- a catalytic combustion section having an oxidation catalyst dispersed on a supporting material and surrounding the steam reforming catalyst section,
- wherein said at least one palladium membrane tube has one sealed end located at upstream of flowing path, and said oxidation catalyst is formed by a noble metal with boron nitride.
