Hydrogen Production by a Reactor for Heavy Hydrocarbons

Investigation of Sour Natural Gas Decomposition in a Nozzle-type Solar Reactor for Hydrogen Production

Compact string reactor for autothermal hydrogen production

This study addresses the development of a compact reactor for oxidative steam-reforming of methanol (OSRM) to produce hydrogen in autothermal mode for fuel cells. The string reactor uses catalytically active brass wires with a diameter of 500 mm placed in parallel into a tube. The micro-channels in the reactor for gases are formed between the wires presenting hydrodynamics similar to the one in...

A Hybrid Adsorbent-membrane Reactor (hamr) System for Hydrogen Production

Introduction An experimental study on the performance of a novel reactor system, termed the hybrid adsorbent-membrane reactor (HAMR) is described here. In the HAMR the reaction and membrane separation steps are coupled with adsorption. It was shown previously by our group that for esterification reactions this results in significantly improved performance. The focus in this presentation is on t...

Simulation of Methane Partial Oxidation in Porous Media Reactor for Hydrogen Production

The enactment of strict laws on reducing pollution and controlling combustion has given rise to the necessity of considering a new approach to energy supply in the future. One such approach is the use of hydrogen as an alternative to fossil fuels. Hydrogen and synthesis gas are typically produced through the partial oxidation of methane in porous media. This process was theoretically simula...

Photo-biological Reactor for Organic Waste Consumption and Hydrogen Production

The current global economy relies on fossil fuels, therefore air pollution concentration rises every day. With a growing population and industrial development, comes an increase in energy demand, need for greater sanitary infrastructure, and an urge for minimal ecosystem damage. Many successful articles about biological hydrogen production were recently approved by major international journals,...
