Solid electrolyte ionic conductor reactor design

摘要

An ion transport reactor (17) and process for using same having at least one ion transport membrane (1) with a retentate side (2) and a permeate side, for extracting oxygen from a feed gas stream (18) as it flows along the retentate side (2). A reactant gas stream (16) is flowed along the permeate side of the ion transport tubes to react with the oxygen transported therethrough. Heat is transferred to a fluid stream flowing through the ion transport reactor while the temperature of the membrane is maintained within its operating range. <IMAGE>
