Simplified, plate-type Pd membrane module for hydrogen purification

A simplified, plate-type membrane module for hydrogen separation has been designed. It can be constructed without the need for a complicated bonding apparatus and tested without any module chamber. A double o-ring sealing mechanism was applied for easier assembly and ensured module-sealing. The assembled membrane module has good performance in a high-pressure test. The module is suitable for application as a compact hydrogen purification system due to its simple assembly.
