Power+Energy has delivered is largest hydrogen separation membrane assembly to the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Philadelphia.

Designed to extract fuel cell grade hydrogen from a stream of reformed logistic diesel fuel, the membrane will be installed into a Navy demonstration system that will convert diesel fuel into high-purity hydrogen to feed a large hydrogen fuel cell.

A number of smaller capacity hydrogen separators have also been delivered to a number of organisations developing fuel cell power systems.

The aim of the technology is to turn liquid fuels into a high-quality hydrogen steam system needed to operate a fuel cell power system.

Power+Energy has also demonstrated its palladium-alloy membrane technology that delivers hydrogen from a number of fuels including methanol and ethanol.

The firm is also commercialising membranes that can tolerate the high concentrations of sulphur that are often found in military fuels as well as systems that can recycle waste energy from water systems.
