摘要：AbstractThis paper presents the first operability studies for the computation of catalytic membrane reactor feasible regions for process design and control. The equilibrium-limited direct methane aromatization conversion process to hydrogen and benzene is addressed as the application. For the operability analysis, a nonlinear model that describes the membrane reactor system is derived. This analysis is performed for different reactor designs, membrane characteristics and flow configurations. The obtained results demonstrate the capabilities of the nonlinear operability approach to provide novel findings on the design of emerging energy systems.
