Abstract
A system for combusting a methane stream in an ITM combustion reactor and a method of combusting the methane stream, wherein an optimized volumetric flow rate of the methane stream provides an off-stoichiometric molar ratio of methane to oxygen, which is provided by an ITM in the ITM combustion reactor, and the method further offers a relatively constant oxygen flux via the ITM as well as a prolonged membrane stability. Various embodiments of the system and the method are also provided.
