Patent number: 7549400Abstract: A method of heating process streams fed to a boiler incorporating an oxygen transport membrane device that includes an oxygen-containing stream and a boiler feed water stream. The membrane device separates oxygen to support combustion of a fuel and generate heat to raise the steam. Heat is recovered and process streams are heated by separately heating portions of the oxygen-containing stream and the boiler feed water stream with a retentate stream produced from the oxygen separation and a flue gas stream generated from the combustion. The flow rate of the portion of the oxygen-containing stream heated by the retentate stream is greater than that heated by the flue gas stream to help minimize heat transfer area and thus, fabrication costs. Also, water is condensed from the flue gas stream during the heat exchange involved in the heat recovery to increase thermodynamic efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2006Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.Inventors: Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan Chakravarthy, Bart A. van Hassel, M.

Patent number: 6623714Abstract: A method of separating oxygen using a ceramic membrane unit having one or more ceramic membranes, preferably formed of a mixed conducting ceramic, for instance, a perovskite, capable of conducting both oxygen ions and electrons. Oxygen is separated within the ceramic membrane unit under impetus of compressing an incoming oxygen containing feed. The compressor used in the compression is powered by the work of expansion produced by expanding a process stream composed of at least a portion of the retentate produced in the ceramic membrane unit. Prior to expansion, the process stream is cooled to allow the use of less expensive materials in expanders used in the expansion. As a result, expansion of the process stream alone is insufficient to meet the power requirements involved in the compression. Interstage expansion with reheating is used to make up for the power deficit.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2001Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Praxair Technology, Inc.Inventors: Eric Hunter Shreiber, Edward Paul Eardley, Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan, Bart Antonie van Hassel, Minish Mahendra Shah

Publication number: 20020192135Abstract: A method of separating oxygen from an oxygen containing gas using an ceramic membrane unit having one or more ceramic membranes, preferably formed of a mixed conducting ceramic capable of conducting both oxygen ions and electrons. Oxygen is separated within the ceramic membrane unit under impetus of compressing the incoming feed. Sufficient power for such compression is created through expansion of a process stream composed in part of the retentate with interstage expansion reheating.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2001Publication date: December 19, 2002Inventors: Eric Hunter Shreiber, Edward Paul Eardley, Vijayaraghavan Srinivasan, Bart Antonie van Hassel, Minish Mahendra Shah
