Abstract

The design of a pre-combustion natural gas fired power plant is presented, which makes use of a membrane assisted reformer with permeate side combustion. A detailed reactor model has been made with which the impact of the air distribution pattern is assessed. The results demonstrate that a flat air distribution pattern is sufficient for avoiding hot spots in the reactor. A system assessment shows that the concept is competitive with conventional membrane reformers in terms of system efficiency, and offers a more compact design.
