| CTP
Hydrogen |
"The core of CTP’s patented reformer
technology is a multi-function membrane reactor that utilizes
mixed ionic/electronic ceramic conductors. Unlike conventional
methods where liberated hydrogen must then be separated from
a mixture of other reformate gases, this technique generates
a pure hydrogen stream in single step using a high-rate electrochemical
process." |
