Abstract

One of the technologies for pre-combustion decarbonization is the production of hydrogen rich fuel gas from fossil fuel feed stock by means of a water gas shift membrane reactor system. CO2 Capture Project (CCP) sponsored this development of hydrogen selective membranes for use in a water gas shift membrane reactor operating with sour synthesis gas. The project demonstrates a proof of concept water gas shift membrane reactor for this purpose. A software model of the water gas shift membrane reactor is also developed. The model simulates a counter current water gas shift membrane reactor with microporous membranes (silica and zeolite) and dense (palladium and proton conducting) membranes and copes with the isothermal and non-isothermal operation of the membrane reactor. The model is implemented as an Aspen Plus User Model (Aspen Plus, version 11.1) and is written in FORTRAN.
