Research abstract

H2Pump LLC and the University of South Carolina will enhance the purification of impure hydrogen streams generated from the reformation of logistics fuel for use in fuel cells through the application of high temperature polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane-based electrochemical hydrogen pump (EHP) technology. The effort will extend H2Pump LLC’s current reformate tolerant PBI EHP technology to include hydrogen sulfide (H2S) impurities. The University of South Carolina will assess the operating window of hydrogen streams containing H2S, while H2Pump LLC will evaluate the impact of such gases on lifetime, efficiency, and hydrogen purification capability. H2Pump LLC is uniquely suited to address the objectives of this effort, as EHP using high temperature membranes (PBI) is its sole commercialization focus.
