A versatile, steam reforming based small-scale hydrogen production process

Hulteberg, P. C. ; Porter, B. ; Silversand, F. A. and Woods, R. (2006) 16th World Hydrogen Energy Conference 2006, WHEC 2006 1. p.375-385
Abstract

In this paper, a new design methodology and process is proposed for small scale pure hydrogen production capable of serving energy markets ranging from distributed generation to vehicular refuelling. The system was designed for producing 7 Nm3/hr pure hydrogen (purity of < 1ppm CO dry), yielding 10 kWe net power from a fuel cell system with an overall parasitic power loss < 10 %. The discussion of this process includes a detailed description of the design methodology and operational results of the catalytic converter, the hydrogen purification system and the fuel cell system. This paper will discuss the design methodology of the overall system, as well as the specific design of the catalytic converter, the catalysts... (More)

In this paper, a new design methodology and process is proposed for small scale pure hydrogen production capable of serving energy markets ranging from distributed generation to vehicular refuelling. The system was designed for producing 7 Nm3/hr pure hydrogen (purity of < 1ppm CO dry), yielding 10 kWe net power from a fuel cell system with an overall parasitic power loss < 10 %. The discussion of this process includes a detailed description of the design methodology and operational results of the catalytic converter, the hydrogen purification system and the fuel cell system. This paper will discuss the design methodology of the overall system, as well as the specific design of the catalytic converter, the catalysts used within, and the hydrogen purification system. It will also report the system performance including gas purity, recovery rate, overall hydrogen production efficiencies, and electrical efficiencies during fuel cell operation.
