Low Temperature Solar-driven Biogas Steam Reforming in a Membrane Reactor

A prototype for a low temperature solar-driven biogas steam reforming process was designed by coupling a hydrogen selective membrane reactor and linear Fresnel collector technology. To verify the prototype, the membrane reactor model was established by using ASPEN Plus and was studied using a modell...
