Project objectives
The key objective of the MEMERE project is the design, scale-up and
validation of a novel membrane reactor for the direct conversion of
methane into ethylene with integrated air separation. The focus of the
project will be on the air separation through novel MIEC membranes
integrated within a reactor operated at high temperature for OCM
allowing integration of different process steps in a single multifunctional
unit and achieving significantly higher yields in comparison with the
conventional reactor technologies, combined with improved energy
efficiency.
