Novel reactor configurations for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM), and in particular membrane reactors, contribute toward reaching the yield required to make the process competitive at the industrial scale. Therefore, in this work, the conventional OCM packed bed reactor using a Mn-Na2WO4/SiO2 catalyst was experimentally compared with a membrane reactor, in which a symmetric MgO porous membrane was integrated. The beneficial effects of distributive feeding of oxygen along the membrane, which is the main advantage of the porous membrane reactor, were demonstrated, although no significant differences in terms of performance were observed because of the adverse effects of back-permeation prevailing in the experiments. A sensitivity analysis carried out on the effective diffusion coefficient also indicated the necessity of properly tuning the membrane properties to achieve the expected promising results, highlighting how this tuning could be addressed.
