Method For Producing Hydrogen
Patent No. EP3172164 (titled "Method For Producing Hydrogen") was filed by Rouge H Engineering on Jul 27, 2015. The application was issued on Nov 11, 2020.
Patent Summary
A method for producing compressed hydrogen that eliminates the need for separate compression equipment. The method involves introducing a water-containing medium into a pressure-stable reactor containing a metal-containing contact mass, where the water is evaporated and reacts with the metal to produce hydrogen and metal oxide. The reactor's internal pressure is controlled through the introduction and discharge of fluids, allowing the hydrogen to be produced at elevated pressure. The metal oxide is then reduced to regenerate the contact mass for subsequent cycles.
