New energy technology
Mini-channel steam
reformers
Accentus originally developed compact mini-channel
stream reformers for application in offshore Gas
to Liquids (GTL) plant. The modular reforming
technology is reliable, and efficient with high
volumetric production capacity. Because the reformer
is compact it offers the prospect of low CapEx
and a small footprint.
Hydrogen from natural
gas and LPG
Accentus have taken this modular platform technology,
and identified derivatives that offer significant
advantage for the production of Hydrogen from
natural gas and LPG. The integrated catalytic
combustion also provides efficient energy management
by utilising the tail gases from PSA or membrane
based purification systems and the fuel cell.
Hydrogen from biomass
fuel
We see the mini-channel reactor as a generic technology
that can be further utilised to produce pure hydrogen
from a biomass fuel, or to produce energy and
a pure CO2 waste for sequestration by use of chemical
looping reactions.
Hydrogen from diesel
Reforming processes are also being developed for
liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as diesel. Combinations
of plasma reforming and mini-channel reforming
are being evaluated to assess cost, efficiency
and resistance to coking.
