The local electrochemistry is studied in a SOFC repeat-element using a test setup that allows a local control of the polarization. During long-term tests, the local current densities evolve, following activation and degradation periods. Electrochemical imp ...
La 0.8Sr 0.2CrO 3 (LSC) based Ru catalysts are very active in methane steam reforming. Nevertheless, they can be easily poisoned under water-deficient conditions. Ru can be deposited as metallic ruthenium particles decorating the LSC grains or be inserted ...
The energy efficiency of an industrial hydrogen production process using steam methane reforming (SMR) combined with the water gas shift reaction (WGS) is analyzed using process integration techniques based on heat cascade calculation and pinch analysis wi ...
Our current energy production is convenient and simple, but it is not sustainable. The negative impacts on our environment are omnipresent in the form of smog, extinction of species, and global warming. A major challenge of our generation is the transition ...
In spite of the large degree of energy integration in the modern syngas production units, the highly endothermic reactions of steam methane reforming and the combined steam and power generation still require a huge amount of energy that is typically suppli ...

The thermo-environomic assessment of the industrial production of ammonia has been investigated in this project. Thermodynamic models for the ammonia synthesis were developed on the flowsheeting software Vali based on the techniques used at LENI. Several p ...
