Développement de membranes céramiques pour l'approvisionnement en oxygène dans les applications de gasification et pour la génération de Syngas.

Ceramic membrane development for oxygen supply to gasification applications and Syngas generation.

Résumé

In partnership with the US Department of Energy, an Air Products-led team is developing a new air separation technology - Ion Transport Membrane Oxygen (ITM Oxygen) - based on ceramic membranes that selectively transport oxygen ions when operated at high temperature. Under the influence of an oxygen partial-pressure driving force, the ITM Oxygen process achieves a high-purity, high-flux separation of oxygen from air. By integrating the energy-rich, vitiated, non-permeate stream with a gas turbine system, the overall process co-produces high purity oxygen, power, and steam if desired. As a result, the technology is ideally suited for advanced power generation processes that require oxygen as a feedstock for combustion or gasification, making IGCC an ideal application for ITM Oxygen co-production technology. The economic benefits to IGCC projects that use ITM Oxygen are projected to be significant: the cost of the oxygen plant is lower by over one-third (more than 33%) compared with conventional cryogenic distillation.
