Fischer Tropsch (FT) Reactor
OxEon’s Fischer Tropsch reactor technology produces a mixture of liquid hydrocarbons, a synthetic crude as it were containing components similar to jet and diesel fuel. Synthetic fuel can be considered as an energy storage medium in a form that can be readily transported and stored for use weeks, months or years later. The Fischer Tropsch reactor requires a feedstock of synthesis gas (i.e. carbon monoxide and hydrogen) at pressure to generate hydrocarbon products. The resulting FT liquid fuel product is a mixture of hydrocarbons, mainly of n-paraffins of C5 to C40 in length. OxEon utilizes a two-part product collection step in which the longer hydrocarbon chains are condensed at a higher temperature and separated from the shorter chains and produced water.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC)
OxEon personnel have been developing solid oxide technology since the 1980s. Solid Oxide Fuel Cells have a number of distinct advantages over other fuel cell types, such as silent operation with no moving parts, fuel flexibility and tolerance to impurities in the fuel gas. This product is under development and is anticipated to be cost-competitive on a commercial scale for small distributed or remote operations needing higher efficiency and lower noise than conventional generator sets.
Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cells (SOEC)
OxEon Energy has modified its solid oxide fuel cell technology to provide a stable, reliable electrolysis stack to produce hydrogen from steam electrolysis or synthesis gas (i.e. hydrogen and carbon monoxide) from water vapor (steam) and carbon dioxide co-electrolysis. The solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) technology is also capable of co-producing high purity oxygen from these feedstocks. One of OxEon’s achievements with this technology has been its success in producing high purity oxygen from a supply of carbon dioxide that simulated the Martian atmosphere. OxEon’s SOEC technology will play a vital role in Project MOXIE on the Mars 2020 rover.
