HIP NANOMEM
The aim of HIP NANOMEM project is to develop a key technology based on zeolite membranes for efficient gas separation of CO2, H2S and methanol at demanding conditions in the applications of natural and synthesis gas sweetening and production of renewable fuels. The main objective is to produce technical prototypes of zeolite membranes with proven long term stability and superior performance in terms of permeance, separation factor and robustness compared to current technology.
HIP NANOMEM is comprised of the following subprojects:
1. Development of ultra thin tubular zeolite membranes.
2. Development of ultra thin membranes of a new zeolite structure and modification procedures for maximum CO2 selectivity.
3. Development of all zeolite membranes to eliminate crack formation.
4. Performance testing and modelling.
The project is a collaboration between Luleå University of Technology, University of Oslo, University of Oulu and Hermsdorfer Institute for Technical Ceramics (HITK).
The project is sponsored by the Northern European Innovative Energy Research Programme (N-INNER).
