Abstract
Except for pure oxygen production, MIEC membranes can be used in membrane reactors for natural gas conversion. However, pure oxygen production is the process with the greatest potential for commercialization of the MIEC membrane technology in the near future. Air Products & Chemicals Inc. (APCI) is the pioneer on the commercialization of MIEC membrane technology for oxygen production, leading a team that includes several companies, institutes, and universities. In this chapter, the great progresses achieved by the APCI team are introduced, including the development history, membrane module design, membrane sealing, and module performance. Additionally, the progresses achieved by Aachen University are also briefly introduced.
