Abstract:
1. A hydrogen separation membrane module for separating hydrogen from a gas to be treated containing hydrogen, comprising: a tubular hydrogen separation membrane being selectively permeable to hydrogen, the hydrogen separation membrane comprising a supported membrane supported on a porous body; a casing for the hydrogen separation membrane; an insertion member arranged on an inside of the hydrogen separation membrane and having an outer surface that defines a flow path of the gas to be treated together with an inner surface of the hydrogen separation membrane; a gas supply port for supplying the gas to be treated to the inside of the hydrogen separation membrane; a gas discharge port for discharging a non-permeating gas that does not permeate the hydrogen separation membrane, from a downstream side of the flow path; and a hydrogen discharge port provided in the casing, for discharging hydrogen having permeated the hydrogen separation membrane, wherein the porous body is only provided on a side of the hydrogen separation membrane that contacts the permeated hydrogen.
