  • Shift membrane burner fuel cell combination
    Publication number: 20060019138
    Abstract: Method and device for converting CO on one side of a membrane with the addition of water to give CO2 and H2O. During this reaction H2 passes through the membrane. On the other side of the membrane H2 is combined with oxygen and burned. This oxygen can be supplied in the form of air and can originate from a fuel cell or fed thereto. CO and H2 originate from a fuel cell.
