Generate hydrogen without electrolysis...
The only generator that makes Ultra-Pure H2 from methanol - water rerforming.
The REB (Me100) Hydrogen Generator, the first of its kind, provides a unique source of H2 for fuel cell tests, gas chromatography and other laboratory uses. At 17" X 13" X 13" and 15 lbs., it's the size of a microwave oven and fits comfortably in a rack.
Operation
The Me 100 generates hydrogen by reforming methanol and water in a membrane reactor, a unique type of reactor that purifies the hydrogen as it is generated. Plug the Me100 into a standard 120 V outlet to power the pump, heater and controller, fill with 1:1 (molar) or 2.5:1 (by volume) and turn on. The pump compresses the methanol-water mixture and pumps it through the boiler into the reactor. There, it is converted to hydrogen and other gases.
The membrane extracts the hydrogen as it is produced. Waste gas and liquids exit the system separately. The methanol-water feed rate can be adjusted at the pump. See paper describing process. The hydrogen delivery pressure and flow rate adjusts itself to follow a fuel cell load almost instantaneously, while hydrogen purity is maintained throughout. Allows fuel cell operation in dead-end mode (no bleed).

Methanol Water |
| Make 99.99995% pure hydrogen from a 1:1 mix of methanol and water. Up to 1.2 slpm H2 ouput, enough to
generate 100 W in a standard PEM FC. Adjust the H2 pressure and flow rate by varying the methanol-water input. Hydrogen delivery to 40 psi, follows load. Waste gas delivered separately. |
500 scc/min of 99.99995% pure
hydrogen from a 1:1 mix of methanol and water. Enough H2 to feed a 50W fuel cell continuously. Adjust the H2 pressure and flow rate by varying the methanol-water input. Hydrogen delivery to 40 psi, follows load. Waste gas delivered separately. |
Also for sale: 2.5 gallon containers of approved methanol -water
mixture (2.5/1 volume ratio). Works with either size Me100. Each
container makes the equivalent of 10 standard cylinders of UHP
hydrogen. |
