The main objective of HERMES is to provide a quantum leap in the development of efficient hydrogen separation and purification technology to reduce the cost of hydrogen purification by utilization of two groundbreaking.
Membrane Technologies: Palladium based membranes and Carbon Molecular Sieve membranes (CMS). In particular, HERMES will develop 2 prototypes to be tested in two different industrial locations for the separation of 100 kg/day of pure hydrogen from different industrial streams at both low and high hydrogen contents. In both prototypes both Pd-based and Carbonbased membranes will be tested.
