  • IMPEDANCE-BASED SENSOR FOR DETECTION OF CATALYST COKING IN FUEL REFORMING SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20140302614
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel sensor for detecting the early stages of catalyst coking in fuel reforming systems and methods for making and using the same. The sensor may be manufactured by inkjet printing a colloidal suspension of ceramic powders to create thin (about 20 ?m) catalytic and conductive elements of the sensor. The sensor may be used to determine the presence of coking conditions during processes at a level below the detection limit available using thermogravimetric analyzers (TGA) (<10 ?g), thereby reducing catalyst coking in systems.
