Despite their advantages, FBMRs also present several challenges. One major issue is the design and integration of the membrane with the fluidized bed, ensuring that it can withstand the mechanical stress and abrasive environment of the fluidized particles. Another challenge is maintaining the stability and selectivity of the membrane over prolonged operational periods. Fouling and degradation of the membrane materials can also pose significant problems, affecting the overall performance and longevity of the reactor.
