About the Project
A modular reactor system that converts LPG and water into hydrogen through high-temperature catalysis. The hydrogen is used to generate electricity via a fuel cell.
The project involved reactor design, selecting high-temperature metals and seals, specifying sensors, creating automation and control systems, and performing thermodynamic, fluid mechanic, and fatigue analyses. Specific client details remain confidential.
