Hydrogen Purifiers
Purifies commercial or cylinder hydrogen to 99.999995%. REB Research makes hydrogen purifiers and hydrogen purification modules that operate at 100 to 500 C, and 0 to 200 psi. Our Mr. Hydrogen hydrogen purifier is a complete, easy to use unit that delivers ppb quality hydrogen gas for use in gas chromatographs and electronic manufacture. In these applications it saves approximately $600/cylinder compared to UHP-Zero grade hydrogen. We also sell the purifier modules alone, for OEM and specialty uses like isotope separations. Our purifiers and membranes resist fouling from water, methane, ethane, CO and CO2. Because our membranes can operate at lower temperatures than traditional palladium-silver, they can pass fewer impurities: 1 to 40 ppb verses about 1 ppm for palladium silver. See Hydrogen output vs temperature and pressure. For more about our membrane technology, see [Technology], or look at our bare hydrogen-membranes. 
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 in one step. Great for mobile hydrogen generation, e.g. by methanol-water reforming.
Membrane reactors combine a high-pressure reactor with a membrane that extracts a reaction product (hydrogen, here). This shifts the reaction equilibrium allowing the user to produce ultrapure hydrogen at near-total conversions from methanol, hydrocarbons, or ammonia. Much more efficient and compact than any alternative of sequential reactors and separators. Click here for an essay on the use of membrane reactors for use with fuel cells.
Me100 Methanol Reformer/Hydrogen Generators
Generate hydrogen without electrolysis. The only generator that makes Ultra-Pure hydrogen from methanol - water rerforming. A complete methanol-water refomer/ hydrogen generation solution. Output pure hydrogen to feed a fuel cell, for brazing, gas chromatography, or 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. Make 99.99995% pure hydrogen from a 1:1 mix of methanol and water. Up to 5 slpm H2 ouput, enough to generate 400 W in a standard PEM hydrogen fuel cell. Adjust the hydrogen pressure and flow rate by varying the methanol-water input. Hydrogen delivery to 40 psi, follows load. Waste gas delivered separately. See an essay on why this is worthwhile for laboratory hydrogen.
Catalysts/Sorbers
Reforming and water gas shift catalysts for use with our membrane reactors and for hydrogen removal from air. We also provide 2 types of hydrogen sorbers: organo metallic and sandwich metallic to work with or without air: compact, non-flammable, non-carcinogenic. For use with hydride batteries or wherever hydrogen buildup may cause a problem.
Consulting Services
