The aim of the contribution is to describe both experimental and theoretically the behavior of an ethanol steam reformer coupled with a pure hydrogen separation module. A laboratory Rh-Pd/CeO2 structured catalyst was profited towards syn-gas generation. Pure hydrogen was achieved by means of a commercial Pd-Ag membrane placed downstream the catalyst.
