(Project concluded on November 30, 2020)
This project aims to develop ceramic composite membranes of hollow fiber for the physical separation of CO2 from natural gas. These membranes must be stable and durable in the long term. A modular reactor containing the hollow fiber membranes will also be designed and built to assess their performance on a pilot scale. A second route of separation is also investigated: the development of a supersonic separator. The design of this particular device will employ the state of the art optimazation tools and numerical simulation techniques.
