A one-dimensional non-isothermal model was employed in the simulation of partial oxidation of methane to syngas in a dense oxygen permeation membrane reactor. The model predicts that if methane is consumed completely in the reactor, a temperature runaway occurs. The reactor inlet temperature is chosen as a major factor to demonstrate the correlativity of the reactor performance and this phenomenon. A borderline inlet temperature (BIT) is defined. Simulation results showed that when the reactor inlet temperature approaches this value, an optimized reactor performance is achieved. This temperature increases with the increase of the air flow rate and carbon space velocity. The surface exchange kinetics at the oxygen-rich side has a small effect on this temperature, while that at the oxygen-lean side has a significant effect.
