A Novel Multifunctional Catalytic Reactor System For Sustainable Hydrogen Production

In this research project, a multifunctional catalytic reactor has been designed for producing green and renewable H₂ from different types of feedstocks such as bio-derived ethanol and methane. The novel reactor system consists of gas manifold, liquid feedstock supplier, mixer and tubular fixed-bed reactor (the schematic diagram of reactor system is attached with this application). The gaseous reactants regulated by mass flow controller are rigorously mixed with liquid feedstock injected by syringe pump. The mixture is subsequently directed through a bed of catalyst mounted in the middle of tubular reactor. The process temperature and pressure are continuously monitored with time-on-stream. The advantage of this reactor design is low cost, flexible and high efficient.
