A Process Development Unit (PDU) has been built to test Pd membranes with a capacity of 8.5Nm3/h H2product, exceeding typical lab scale testing by orders of magnitude. The inhibition effect of water–gas shift (WGS) components on the H2permeation was investigated through three Pd membranes of 44cm long in parallel configuration with the WGS composition: 4.0% CO, 19.2% CO2, 15.4% H2O, 1.2% CH4and 60.1% H2representing the reformate gas from an oxygen-fed autothermal reformer followed by a shift reactor, at near practical operation conditions: 673K, 20–35bar(a) feed pressure and 30–90NL/min feed flow rate. The inhibition effect of WGS-components resulted in a H2flux decrease of around 20% compared to H2/N2mixtures with the same H2concentration, which increased with feed pressure. CO and CO2both had inhibitive effects on the H2permeation. CO was more inhibitive than same amount CO2but CO2showed a stronger inhibition effect than CO in the WGS-mixtures due to its 4 times higher amount. The H2flux of WGS-mixtures remained unchanged at 673K in short stability tests. The influence of mass transfer on the H2permeation was found to be significant and there was no apparent change in the mass transfer resistance with the variation of feed pressure.
