Current Trends and Future Developments on (Bio-) Membranes: Cogeneration Systems and Membrane Technology

Current Trends and Future Developments in (Bio-) Membranes: Cogeneration Systems and Membrane Technology offers an exhaustive overview of the status of cogeneration systems as they relate to advanced membrane technologies for energy savings. The different options for cogeneration are analyzed, both for large (district) and small (residential) size units, with different primary fuels. Energy efficiency is reported and lifecycle analysis is carried out for all different options. The book outlines strategies for engineering development and process intensification of interest to both industrial and developing countries. Finally, the book includes three chapters on lifecycle analysis (LCA) and economic analysis. Provides an overview of the interconnections between membrane technology and the systems used for the cogeneration of electricity, such as exhaust gas cleaning, carbon capture and sequestration, and low temperature fuel cellsIncludes two different studies on LCA and a case study on economic analysisPresents comprehensive reviews on various traditional cogeneration systems and compares them to alternative membrane-based technologiesCovers membrane based technologies and their application in co-generation systemsAddresses key issues on the introduction of process intensification in energy production INDICE: Preface/Introduction Ch. 1 - Cogeneration plants for district heating (and cooling) Ch. 2 - The application of membranes in district energy systems Ch. 3 - Impact assessment of exhaust gas emissions from cogeneration PEMFC systems Ch. 4  - Conventional systems for exhaust gas cleaning and carbon capture and sequestration Ch. 5  - Development of membrane technologies for exhaust gas cleaning and carbon capture and sequestration Ch. 6 - Life Cycle Assessment of tri-generation plants Ch. 7 -  Residential cogeneration and trigeneration Ch. 8 - Integrated membrane-assisted reforming in fuel processors for cogeneration applications Ch. 9 - Residential cogeneration and trigeneration with fuel cells Ch. 10 - Solar reformers coupled with PEMFCs for residential cogeneration and trigeneration applications Ch. 11 - Conventional syngas cleaning systems for low temperature fuel cells Ch. 12 - Development of membrane technologies for H2 production in reforming process for low temperature Ch. 13 - Case study: Economic assesment of co-generation fuel and electricity in an IGCC plant.
