Georgia Tech team furthers four-stroke-cycle active-membrane piston reactor for enhanced SMR for H2 production

Green Car Congress

Prior work has established the thermodynamic viability of the CHAMP-SORB concept to achieve 90% fuel conversion at 400 °C and 2:1 steam to carbon ratio, as well as demonstrated the performance enhancements enabled by incorporation of CO 2 and H 2 removal in the absence of transport-limitations using the bench-scale reactor prototype.
