  • Publication number: 20220336135
    Abstract: A magnetizer including a housing, a passage arranged inside the housing, and a permanent magnet assembly arranged outside the passage to provide a magnetic field passing through the passage. The housing defines an inlet to the passage and an outlet from the passage such that an object to be magnetised can be inserted into the passage via the inlet in the housing and removed via the outlet in the housing. The passage includes a uniform portion where opposing surfaces of the permanent magnet assembly are arranged a uniform distance apart along the length of the uniform portion and a diverging portion arranged between one end of the uniform portion of the passage and the outlet of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20210121857
    Abstract: The invention relates to a structured catalyst for catalyzing steam methane reforming reaction in a given temperature range T upon bringing a hydrocarbon feed gas into contact with the structured catalyst. The structured catalyst comprises a macroscopic structure, which comprises an electrically conductive material and supports a ceramic coating. The macroscopic structure has been manufactured by 3D printing or extrusion and subsequent sintering, wherein the macroscopic structure and the ceramic coating have been sintered in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to form chemical bonds between the ceramic coating and the macroscopic structure. The ceramic coating supports catalytically active material arranged to catalyze the steam methane reforming reaction, wherein the macroscopic structure is arranged to conduct an electrical current to supply an energy flux to the steam methane reforming reaction.
