Precision Combustion, Inc

Roychoudhury et al.85 reported the use of microlith catalytic reactors (patented by Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI)) for ATR, WGS, or Prox. The microlith substrates are composed of a series of ultrashort channel length, low thermal mass, cata-lytically coated metal meshes with very small channel diameters. This design allows fast heat and mass transfer, reduces the reactor size, and improves the overall performance. ATR test showed high resistance to coking, especially at low steam/C ratios.

Figure 6.4 Microlith packed metal gauzes developed by Precision Combustion Inc. [458].

Lyubovsky and Roychoudhury reported the development of an autothermal reformer for methanol based upon the Microlith technology of Precision Combustion Inc. [190]. Two types of reactors were tested. The first reactor consisted of cylindrical metallic gauzes of 41-mm diameter, wash-coated with a precious metal catalyst and piled up to a total height of 6 mm. The reactor thus had a low volume of 8 cm and was operated at very high fiow rates (gas hourly space velocity up to 400 000 h ), which corresponded to a residence time of 3.5 ms [190]. The O/C ratio was varied from 0.05 to 0.58 and the S/C ratio between 0 and 2. Figure 7.2 shows the...
