Abstract
The goal of this research is dynamic operability analysis of dual-membrane reactor considering catalyst deactivation to produce methanol. A dynamic heterogeneous one-dimensional model is developed to predict the performance of this configuration. In this configuration, a conventional reactor has been supported by a Pd/Ag membrane tube for hydrogen permeation and alumina–silica composite membrane tube to remove water vapor from the reaction zone. To verify the accuracy of the considered model, the results of conventional reactor are compared with the plant data. The main advantages of the dual-membrane reactor are: higher catalyst activity and lifetime, higher CO2 conversion and methanol production.
