REB Research Membrane Reactors
COMPACT MEMBRANE REACTORS, HYDROGEN GENERATORS
Can be used as a hydrogen purifier for dirty or coking gases. More usually it is filled with catalyst and used as a hydrogen generator to produce ultrapure hydrogen by one-step steam reforming of methanol or methane, or by ammonia cracking. Please see our selection of ground, sieved catalysts, including methanol or natural gas reformer catalysts and water-gas-shift catalysts.|

Check out our tube furnaces as well our selection of ground, sieved catalysts. For a more turnkey hydrogen-production solution, consider our Me100 hydrogen generator. The Me100 hydrogen generator combines a methanol-water tank, a catalyst-filled, membrane reactors, a pump, a heater, a temperature controller, and pressure regulator -- working together to produce low-cost, 100% pure hydrogen on demand.
