Fuel Processing Systems for Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) and Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC)
GTI is actively developing a diesel/logistics fuel processor that tightly integrates with a SOFC stack.

Other GTI developments include:

• A natural gas-steam reformer system and pioneered carbon monoxide control via methanation. The system is compact and integrated with a 5kW PEM fuel cell.
• A family of fuel processors from 5 kg/day to
  100 kg/day for onsite hydrogen production.
• Sulfur tolerant catalysts for liquid fuel processing.

Hydrogen Refueling Station
GTI, with support from the U.S. Department of Energy, is developing a small-scale natural gas-to-hydrogen fueling station to help meet the needs of the fuel cell vehicle market. More information >>

Hydrogen Purification System Research
GTI is developing and testing hydrogen clean-up and purification systems. Current activities include work with pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system developers, as well as developmental work on various metal membrane (e.g., palladium alloys) and polymer membrane technologies.

GTI provides onsite hydrogen production using steam reforming and other technologies to provide real-world performance assessments. GTI has several test cells equipped with state-of-the-art analytical instruments for quantification of hydrogen purity and other measures of clean-up system performance.

Catalyst Research and Development
GTI pioneered use of methanation to control the carbon monoxide content in the reformate fuel. Advancements have been made with sulfur-tolerant catalysts and other special catalysts.
