BSCF5S82 membrane was only able to perform oxygen permeation for less than two hours before showing substantial amount of leaks upon breaking.

Being able to perform such processes will confirm on the ability of the membrane system in performing an autothermal production of hydrogen. Initial experiments were conducted to evaluate the ability of two different types of hollow fibre membrane namely Lao.6Sro.4Co0.2Feo.8O3- (LSCF6428) and BaosSro.sCoo.8Feo.203- (BSCF5582) in permeating oxygen in three different inlet configurations.
