Abstract
A turbine generator hydrogen filtration system having an improved membrane filter for the removal of gases and particulates is provided. The system comprises a membrane filter operably connected with defoaming tanks. The hydrogen stream is routed through an improved membrane filter where air and other contaminants such as oil are removed. The hydrogen is recirculated into the hydrogen cooled generator. The membrane filter employed in the system is one of several palladium based membrane filters which effectively remove air and other contaminants and provide high hydrogen through-put.
