  • PRODUCTION OF HYDROGEN FROM HEAVY HYDROCARBONS
    Publication number: 20110206602
    Abstract: Methods and devices for producing hydrogen from heavy hydrocarbons (>C8) by catalytic partial dehydrogenation by means of a catalyst that contains at least one noble metal are described. The catalyst additionally contains one or more of the substances: Ni, Ce, Sn, Zr, Ti, which protect the catalyst from being poisoned by the sulfur contained in the hydrocarbons.

  • Method for dehydrating and/or degassing hydraulic fluids, device for carrying out said method and use of said device
    Patent number: 6402810
    Abstract: A method for dewatering and/or degassing a hydraulic fluid includes separating gases and water in the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic fluid by pervaporation at a membrane that is permeable to the gas and the water and that is impermeable to hydraulic fluid, while maintaining a partial pressure drop for the gas and the water near the membrane.

  • Method and apparatus for removing carbon dioxide
    Patent number: 5876486
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for continuously removing metabolically produced carbon dioxide from respired air, such as the air found in life support systems or cabin circulating systems, using two sets of hollow fibers disposed in a flowing, carbon dioxide-selective liquid membrane. The carbon dioxide-containing respired air flows through the first set of hollow fibers and the second set of hollow fibers serves to carry away the permeate stream.
