Hydrogen Production and Cleaning Catalysis and Reaction Engineering.199... 

The industrial processes for hydrogen production are well established [9, 30, 31], but may not be appropriate for small-scale stationary applications such as residential fuel cells or for unattended operation such as on-site hydrogen generation. These new applications allow for new process designs based on catalyst and engineering improvements [10, 32]. Hence a study of the ATR process has to involve both chemical and engineering aspects. 

The Chemical Process Engineering Research Institute (CPERI) works on bench and pilot plant hydrogen production units, SOFCs, polymer electrolyte proton conductors, and high-temperature electrocatalytic processes. 

The Institute of Chemical Engineering and High Temperature Chemical Processes (ICE/HT) works on design, construction and testing of PEM components, electrochemical reactions/reactors, electrocatalysts for PEMs, hydrogen production by catalytic processes and water splitting.
