Hydrogen Reformer System
A high temperature set of modular reactors that convert LPG (cooking gas) and water into Hydrogen through catalysis. The Hydrogen is used to generate electricity using a fuel cell. The system involved designing the reactors using special high temperature metals and seals, special manufacturing methods as well as specifying sensors and creating a full control/automation system. Many CFDs, thermodynamic and fluid mechanic calculations were completed as well as fatigue loading, compression/bolt loading, sealing calculations and specifications of sensors and pumps/fans. Further details and naming of client cannot be shared as it is strictly confidential.
