Book Description
This study evaluated the use of Montana-based oilseed crops (canola oil) for power generation in defense and civilian fuel cell applications. Three major fuel production operations were considered: (1) recovery of oil from the harvested vegetable crop, (2) conversion of the vegetable oil into its biodiesel corollary, and (3) reforming the biodiesel into a synthesis gas. The study explored areas for potential improvements in the cost or technical performance in these major operations. Various commercialization pathways for agriculturally derived fuels were evaluated, with an emphasis on dual use opportunities. This work identified potential commercial and military applications for small, remote power generation systems, including fuel cells, which operate using those agriculturally derived fuels. This report documents barriers to commercialization that must be overcome, potential resolutions to those barriers, and stimuli for commercialization that can effectively advance the interests of key Department of Defense and Montana stakeholders in using Montana-based vegetable oil crops for remote power generation.

Book Description
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that convert chemical energy to electrical energy with very high efficiency, and with very low levels of environmental emissions. The reformation of vegetable oil crops for fuel cell uses is not well known; yet vegetable oils such as canola oil represent a viable alternative and complement to traditional fuel cell feedstocks. This report summarizes a study conducted to identify various Montana oil crops available for reforming as a feedstock fuel in fuel cell applications. The use of vegetable oils, or bio-fuels, in Montana alone could potentially sustain more than 6000 fuel cell units, 5.0 kW in size. Many vegetable oils were found to be viable options for production and use in fuel cells in Montana. This project was undertaken to demonstrate a year-long operation of a fuel cell in Yellowstone National Park using canola oil feedstock. This study performed a literature search to: (1) determine the market availability of agricultural crops that produce vegetable oil, and (2) determine the amount of vegetable oil that could be extracted to serve as a feedstock in fuel cell applications.

Membrane Reactors for Hydrogen Production Processes
Author: Marcello De FalcoPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 0857291513
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
Membrane Reactors for Hydrogen Production Processes deals with technological and economic aspects of hydrogen selective membranes application in hydrogen production chemical processes. Membrane Reactors for Hydrogen Production Processes starts with an overview of membrane integration in the chemical reaction environment, formulating the thermodynamics and kinetics of membrane reactors and assessing the performance of different process architectures. Then, the state of the art of hydrogen selective membranes, membrane manufacturing processes and the mathematical modeling of membrane reactors are discussed. A review of the most useful applications from an industrial point of view is given. These applications include: natural gas steam reforming, autothermal reforming, water gas shift reaction, decomposition of hydrogen sulphide, and alkanes dehydrogenation. The final part is dedicated to the description of a pilot plant where the novel configuration was implemented at a semi-industrial scale. Plant engineers, researchers and postgraduate students will find Membrane Reactors for Hydrogen Production Processes a comprehensive guide to the state of the art of membrane reactor technology.
