• Ion Transport Membranes (ITM) provide oxygen at high-purity and high-flux- Non-porous mixed conducting ceramic

membranes- Operate at high temperature, in

the range 700 to 1000 C• Started R&D in 1988• Currently 90 U.S. Patents

and global equivalents- Materials and catalysts- Membrane and module structures- Process cycles- Applications and integrations

• U.S. DOE Cooperative Program since 1998

Air Products’ ITM Technology


Ion Transport Membranes are a Platform Technology• ITM Oxygen – Tonnage Oxygen Supply• ITM Syngas – Tonnage Syngas/Hydrogen Supply

A proprietary ceramic membrane to separate oxygen from air

– Inputs are high pressure air and heat/fuel– Outputs are oxygen and power/steam

Unique technology gives high oxygen flux, high selectivity, and integrates well with high-temperature energy applications

Air Products evaluated ITM Syngas to co-produce H2 and CO2 toward decarbonized fuel application

21

Compared ITM Syngas with conventional processes based on ATR/ASU to produce 150 to 760 MMscfd fuel-grade H2.

ITM Syngas showed potential for 30% capital cost savings in the synthesis gas generation process area and over 20% capital cost savings for the overall synthesis gas/H2/CO2 production process.

ITM Syngas showed thermal efficiency advantage of 3 percentage points.
