Reformers -

Over the last ten years, Hy9 has developed and commercialized proprietary hydrogen reforming technologies that incorporate process intensification by combining our membrane and catalyst in a one-step reforming process. Hy9 provides high-purity hydrogen in a simple system that requires lower temperature operations, and thus overall lower capital/operational costs, when compared to conventional and emerging technologies that attempt to miniaturize legacy technologies. Unlike conventional technologies, which are ultimately physically constrained in reducing their size, Hy9 has the ability to scale up and/or down as well as provide a technological pathway to reduce its plant and costs. We are developing these reformers to be incorporated into onsite hydrogen generators and fuel cell refueling applications.

>1kW - Hy9’s HyPortable™ portable hydrogen reformer for portable power fuel cells (100W – 1000W) provides economic and durable high purity hydrogen for portable applications. Hy9 demonstrated a working prototype for the portable fuel cell range some 10 years ago; by the time the test was stopped, it already had operated more than three times the average life of a portable fuel cell. Hy9 is presently involved in ongoing efforts with portable fuel cell companies regarding the use of its reformer products to provide hydrogen from methanol, natural gas or other fuels. Because these fuels provide more energy per Kg, Hy9’s HyPortable provides immediate economic and technological solutions for electrical power in government/military, homeland security, backup, remote, and recreational applications compared other hydride storage systems.
