Newsletter – Issue 7 – January 2015

The DEMCAMER project is now at month 42th. After almost 4 years we are now in the

phase of building and testing the prototype reactors for the four different research

lines. Two prototype reactors (WGS and FTS) will be based on palladium supported

membranes and the other two reactors (OCM and ATR) will be based on MIEC

membranes. Final results will be presented at the next 12th International Conference

on Catalysis in Membrane Reactors (ICCMR12) which will be held from June 22 – 25,

2015 in Szczecin (Poland) where DEMCAMER consortium will have an exhibition stand.

Dissemination and collaboration with other major European Projects are a major point

for the DEMCAMER project. More than 95 publications and/or conference

participations have been presented by the DEMCAMER consortium until now. Besides,

a joint seminar with other three EU Project was held in November 2014 in order to

share experiences in the field of membranes and membrane reactors. The package of

presentations together with the interactive discussion gave a very clear picture of the

status of palladium membrane technology and the critical issues to be addressed in

the near future.

� Novel reactor design

The aim of DEMCAMER is to develop innovative multifunctional Catalytic Membrane Reactors

(CMR) based on new nano-architectured catalysts and selective membranes materials to

improve their performance, durability, cost effectiveness and sustainability (lower

environmental impact and use of new raw materials) over four selected chemical processes for

pure hydrogen, liquid hydrocarbons and ethylene production:

� Autothermal Reforming, (ATR)

� Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis, (FTS)

� Water Gas Shift, (WGS)

� Oxidative Coupling of Methane, (OCM)

Moreover DEMCAMER will bring the proof of concept of these novel CMRs by the set-up and

validation of pilot prototypes relevant for each process.

2. DEMCAMER in progress

2.1. Project’s Current State

We reached the last months of DEMCAMER. After

almost 4 years we are now in the phase of

building and testing the prototype reactors for

the four different research lines.

Two prototype reactors will be based on

palladium supported membranes. The WGS

prototype is a packed bed membrane reactor

with around 0.2 m2 of Pd membranes. The

reactor has been built and included in a

standalone test unit. After the factory acceptance

tests it will be tested under realistic conditions, in

particular for high temperature WGS. The other

reactor based on Pd membranes is a FTS reactor

where we intend to distribute hydrogen along the

reactor to control the product distribution. This

reactor is smaller than the WGS reactor and it is

under construction at TECNALIA.

At the same time, we are building the two

reactors based on MIEC membranes. A

membrane reactor for OCM contains 20 MIEC

membranes that are currently being sealed with

RAB technique. The same membranes will be also

used in a bigger ATR reactor under construction

that contains 80 membranes. Both reactors will

be tested with novel catalysts produced in

DEMCAMER.

All the results generated in these last months of

DEMCAMER and especially the reactor tests will

be presented at the ICCMR conference in June

2015.



2.2 Workshop on “Scale-up of Pd membrane Technology: From

Fundamental Understanding to Pilot Demonstration

On November 20 & 21, 2014, in Petten (The Netherlands) it has been held the Joint Workshop on

“Scale-up of Pd Membrane Technology From Fundamental Understanding to Pilot Demonstration”.

The workshop has been organized by the join collaboration of DEMCAMER, CARENA, CoMETHy,

ReforCELL, four research projects funded by the European Commission through FP7.

The two-day workshop organized at the Energy Research Centre of the Netherlands ECN and

including presentations, interactive discussions and a visit to the ECN membrane test facilities and

biomass gasification and gas clean-up facilities, brought together more than 70 participants from 17

countries with a broad participation of industrial stakeholders besides representatives of research

institutions and universities. In addition to presentations from members of the four organizing

projects, there was also a significant amount of presentations from the representatives from

industry. The presentations covered a good breadth of topics that are critical for palladium

membrane technology scale-up: from the fundamentals of palladium membranes, hydrogen

transport mechanisms and long term behavior, to various concepts of membrane module design

and system integration; from lab-scale testing to industrial pilot plant operational insights.

Both days of presentations were finalized with an interactive discussion session on the relevant

topics of the presentation sessions of the day. The package of presentations together with the

interactive discussion gave a very clear picture of the status of palladium membrane technology and

the critical issues to be addressed in the near future.
