✦ Synopsis

This article describes a fuel processor technology based on steam reforming, in combination with a multi-stage hydrogen purifier, to produce very high purity hydrogen from a wide range of feedstochs. It is particularly well suited for use in PEM and alkaline fuel cells. The company is already working on integration into fuel cell systems, with field-testing to start in the next few months. l High energy efftciency. l A compact device. l Potential for low cost of manufacture.
