Process integration aspects of the design of a gas separation system for the upgrade of crude Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) to grid quality in a wood to methane process

Gassner, MartinMaréchal, François2009-09-012009-09-012009-09-01200910.1016/S1570-7946(09)70371-2https://infoscience.epfl.ch/handle/20.500.14299/42312WOS:000287727800151The present paper investigates the prospects of process integration of the biogenic production of crude synthetic natural gas (SNG) and its upgrade to grid quality. At the example of a separation by means of a membrane cascade, a holistic design approach targeting the overall process performances is presented. Compared to a design obtained from an isolated approach, it is shown that a considerable reduction of the size and cost of the separation system is possible if a tight process integration is considered in the system design.SNGprocess integrationCO2 separationmembrane system designOptimizationProcess integration aspects of the design of a gas separation system for the upgrade of crude Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) to grid quality in a wood to methane processtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
