Me100 Methanol Reformer/Hydrogen Generators
Generate hydrogen without electrolysis. The Me100 makes 100% Pure H2 from Methanol - water rerforming in a membrane reactor. Hydrogen generation is much safer than using cylinder hydrogen since you never have much hydrogen gas on site. The Me100 is a small, complete methanol-water refomer/ hydrogen generation station intended to output 0.5 to 75 slpm of pure hydrogen to feed a fuel cells, chromatography, or braze furnace applications. The REB (Me150) Hydrogen Generator, The ME150 is a larger unit, suitable for hydrogen fueling stations and large braze furnace applications Adjust the H2 pressure and flow rate by varying the methanol-water input. Hydrogen delivery to 40 psi, follows load. Waste gas delivered separately.
Hydrogen Purifiers
Hydrogen purifiers and hydrogen purification cells used to purify commercial cylinder hydrogen to 99.999995%. These purifiers are meant to operate at 100 to 500 C, and 0 to 200 psig (14 barg; specialty purifiers are available too for higher pressures, diritier gas feeds, and special applications like isotope separations). The "Mr. Hydrogen" is a complete, easy to use unit that delivers ppb quality hydrogen from cylinder gas for use in gas chromatographs and electronic manufacture. The cost savings are approximately $400/cylinder compared to UHP-Zero grade hydrogen, and the purity is greater. Operation at lower temperatures reduces the flow but increases the purity. See Hydrogen output vs temperature and pressure. For more about our membrane technology, see our papers.
Membrane Reactors
Exceeds the limits of closed-system, equilibrium reactor thermodynamics in terms of
extent of reaction and recovery at a given reactor temperauture and pressure.
Generate ultrapure hyrdogen from methanol, ammonia, or hydrocarbons at a greater extent than
normally possible. Make benzene from methane.
Membrane reactors combine a high-pressure reactor with a membrane extraction of a reaction
product to lower pressure. Because of this, the reaction equilibrium is shfted forward allowing
the user to generate ultrapure hydrogen at near-total conversions from methanol, hydrocarbons,
or ammonia, even at high reactor pressures. Such reactors are much more efficient and compact
than any alternative of sequential reactors and separators.

membrane reactors for use with fuel cells.
Catalysts/Sorbers
Reforming and water gas shift catalysts in mixed 20 to 100 mesh sizes;
provide an optimal balance between low entrainment and high heat and mass transfer.
As part of our sandwich membrane work, we started deveolping 2 types of hydrogen sorbers.
Sandwich metallic and organo metallic. The latter involve fullerenes and work in air.
We make the only line of non-flammable, non-carcinogenic (as best we know) hydrogen sorbers.
Our metallic sorbers also have exceptional capabilities when used in metal hydride batteries.
