Abstract | Combination of the biomass steam gasification and the membrane gas permeation is a potential process for the production of renewable hydrogen. This work first briefly reviews possible membrane materials for the hydrogen enrichment from biomass gasification producer gas mixtures. Subsequently, two permeator arrangements, a single stage and a two-stage with sweep, are evaluated through numerical modeling. The evaluation discusses the most essential upgrading parameters: achievable hydrogen purity, hydrogen recovery and energy requirement in the upgrading. It is shown that the two-stage |
