Abstract

A detailed investigation of the design characteristics and performance of a novel reactor system, HAMR, is presented. A mathematical model for a HAMR system for hydrogen production through the steam reforming of methane reaction was developed and analyzed for a range of temperature and pressure conditions. The HAMR system exhibited enhanced methane conversion, hydrogen yield, and product purity and good promise for reducing the hostile operating conditions of conventional methane-steam reformers, and for meeting the product purity requirements for PEM operation. Experimental investigations of HAMR systems using CO2 hydrotalcite-type adsorbents and nanoporous H2 selective membranes were studied. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE National Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
