ABSTRACT:
An industrial system includes a processing region for treating an article in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogen reclamation apparatus. In one embodiment, the hydrogen reclamation apparatus includes a compressor and a separation region having a hydrogen metal membrane. The compressor receives and compresses a hydrogen-containing output gas that is exhausted from the processing region. The compressed gas is conveyed to the separation region where it is separated into a permeate gas and a hydrogen-depleted raffinate gas. In one embodiment, the permeate gas is conveyed back to the processing region.
