  • Hydrogen/syngas generator with sampling ports
    Patent number: 9126831
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compact, concentric auto thermal hydrogen/syngas generator for production of hydrogen/syngas without any external heating. Further, the auto thermal hydrogen/syngas generator of the present invention involves combination of reactions such as partial oxidation, steam reforming, dry reforming, auto thermal reforming, dry autothermal reforming, water gas shift, preferential oxidation or methanation that takes place without external heating, for converting air, steam and fuel into a reformate mainly containing CO, CO2, N2, CH4 and H2O which is subsequently converted to hydrogen/syngas as a feed for fuel cell or syngas applications.

  • ELECTROLESS PLATING PROCESS
    Publication number: 20140017410
    Abstract: An electroless plating method for use in metal plating on a porous substrate is disclosed. It uses selective contact of the plating metal salt solution with a reducing solution on the activated surface on or inside the porous substrate. This electroless plating method in the setup is useful for unmanned, automatic operation resulting in almost 100% membrane (pure/composite) with substantially no pinholes or cracks.
