Hydrogen integrated testing

Thus, benzaldehyde hydrogenation was tested imder practice-relevant conditions in a catalyst test reactor of simple design, and parameter smdies were carried out. The construction of the laboratory plant is shown schematically in Figure 13-17. Since we are dealing with an integral reactor, in spite of the relatively small amount of catalyst in the trickle-bed reactor, only comparitive measurements were carried out. Continuous hydrogenation of benzaldehyde in the solvents hexane and isopropanol ... 

In addition, the KAERl-DySCo simulation code has been used for the dynamic startup simulations of a sulfuric acid distillation column, Hlx distillation column, and its thermal decomposers, which are the main components of an SI integrated test facility with a hydrogen production rate of 50 NL-H2/h. Fig. 13.18 shows 50NL-H2/h-scale SI test facilities built at KIER, which is under modihcation for improvements in its operational efficiency. 

Table III shows the results of operating the SRT unit in the hydrogen donor mode (catalytically hydrogenated solvent) with and without the addition of Light SRC to the distillate solvent Batch I solvent was used in Run 9 A blend of Batch VI solvent and Light SRC, 70/30 weight ratio, were catalytically hydrogenated as the feed to Runs 1 and 3 The hydrogen donor capability of the solvents were measured by the Equilibrium microautoclave tests These bench-scale SRT results are rather extraordinary in respect to increased distillate yields and improvement in unit operability with addition of Light SRC In Table III the integrated yields refer to the combination of liquefaction, CSD, and catalytic hydrogenation of the solvent ...

One week continuous hydrogen production with the bench-scale test apparatus—relationship between operation time and integrated amount of H2 and 02. 

The Hydrogen Research Institute in Canada has developed and tested a stand-alone renewable energy system composed of a 10 kW wind turbine, a 1 kWpeak photovoltaic array, a 5 kW alkaline electrolyzer, and a 5 kW PEM fuel cell. The components of the system are electrically integrated on a 48 V DC bus [50]. 

The hydrogen contact cell (HCC-11 in Fig. 29) does not have an integrated membrane, but merely a palladium window, and is intended for clamp-on purposes. It can be used on any smooth or flat surface and measures the effluent hydrogen permeation through vessels, pipelines, etc., for example, during full-scale testing as demonstrated by Christensen etal ...
