Reactors

Nitrides and Carbides Synthesis Reactors
These synthesis reactors can synthesize nitrides and carbides via temperature programmed reaction methods.
3230 H.H. Dow

Water Gas Shift Reactor
The purpose of this system is to evaluate catalysts for the water gas shift reaction.
3001 H.H. Dow

Methanol Reforming and Water Gas Shift Reactor
This reactor is used to test measure the effect of sulfur on oxide, carbide, and nitride supported catalysts for methanol reforming and water gas shift reactions.
3001 H.H. Dow

High-throughput Screening Reactor System - Celero
The Celero can screen 8 catalysts per run for methanol steam reforming and other fuel processing reactions. It has automatic controls and a real time data collection system.
3001 H.H. Dow

High Pressure Water Gas Shift Reactor
This reactor is used to measure the activity of Mo₂C supported catalysts for the high pressure water gas shift reaction.
3230 H.H. Dow

Selective Catalytic Reduction of NO_x using hydrocarbons
This reactor is used to test oxide supported catalysts coated on micro channel based reactors for selective catalytic reduction of NO_x using hydrocarbons.
3001 H.H. Dow

Fuel Processing System
This fuel processing system converts hydrocarbon fuel into a hydrogen-rich gas suitable for use in a PEM fuel cell. It is equipped with an online gas analyzer and an on-board afterburner.

UM-DOE Compact Gasoline Fuel Processor
This system was designed to serve as an on-board fuel processor for proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) vehicular applications. Unique, microchannel reactors-heat exchangers incorporating novel catalytic materials which have been synthesized in-house, serve as the basis of the hardware architecture.
3230 H.H. Dow

Fuel Cell Test Station
This system was designed to test of both conventional and micro PEM fuel cells.
