HYDROGEN EFFICIENT PURIFICATION USING MEMBRANES IN INDUSTRIAL GAS STREAMS

The HERMES project advances hydrogen separation and purification technologies through the development, scaling-up, and industrial demonstration at TRL7 of innovative membrane systems, while conducting comprehensive evaluations for safety, environmental impact, social acceptance, and cost reduction in industrial settings.

The project aims at developing and scaling up two membrane technologies (Pd-based and Carbon based membranes), to design and build 2 prototypes at TRL7, and to prove the technologies at two industrial sites (in Italy and in Turkey), for separation of pure hydrogen for 5 different streams of industrial interest.

The prototypes will allow the separation of hydrogen with energy consumptions well below 3.5 kWh/kg and costs below 1 euro/kg. The project will also evaluate the environmental impact of the processes with detailed LCA analysis. HERMES will also contribute to safety studies of the system and to the public awareness of the technologies.

The project counts with 1 University, 2 research institutions and 4 large industries and SMEs.
