PCI - Water Gas Shift and PROX Fuel Processor Catalytic Reactors
PCI is developing water gas shift and selective CO oxidation (aka PROX) catalytic reactors for integration into fuel processing and fuel cell power generation systems. PCI's Water Gas Shift and PROX technologies developed under NSF, Navy and internal programs have demonstrated highly selective conversion of CO in an extremely small package. The Water Gas Shift technology reduces CO concentration in the reformate stream to ~ 0.5% (dependant upon system ...

PCI - Gas Phase Sulfur Adsorption Beds
The presence of sulfur in a gas stream in the form of hydrogen sulfide is well known to poison hydrogen separation membranes as well as many fuel cell stacks. Precision Combustion Inc. has developed sulfur adsorber module prototypes that can reduce the quantity of H2S in a gas stream to less than 1 PPM. Depending upon the quantity of sulfur in the fuel stream, beds can be manufactured to last from hundreds of hours through many thousands of hours without ...

PCI - Model RCL - Full Engine Low NOx Catalytic Combustor
NOx emissions are a primary contributor to air pollution, and their control is a primary focus of air pollution regulations. PCI is developing a gas turbine engine catalytic combustor that enables low single digit ppm NOx emissions along with high combustion stability, a wide turndown range, and substantial fuel flexibility. PCI's RCL® catalytic combustor technology is a breakthrough, reducing emissions with improved combustion efficiency by ...

PCI - Model RCL - Catalytic Pilot Burner
PCI's catalytic pilot burner technology is a simpler, less expensive and retrofittable version of our catalytic combustor, catalytically-stabilizing only a portion of the engine's fuel, but using that portion to enable improved combustion stability throughout the catalytic combustor. This is an 80/20 modification, seeking to deliver most of the benefits of a full catalytic combustor at a fraction of the cost, and perhaps as important, in a package that is ...

Catalytic Burner
PCI has several very small to medium sized low NOx catalytic burner products in development. Our gas burner technology was developed under an NSF program with promising results including flameless catalytic combustion of natural gas with CO less than 2 ppm, CH4 less than 2 ppm and NOx less than 0.3 ppm. We have further developed this for use with other gases (such as butane, with which we have demonstrated 20 kWt power density per cubic inch. We developed ...

Stirling Engine Burner
PCI is developing novel catalytic burners for Stirling engines. External combustion engines, like the Stirling engine, have benefits over their internal combustion counterparts due to their ability to remain completely sealed from the elements and their nearly silent operation. Stirling engines are inherently robust, quiet, and only require an external heat source for operation. These characteristics make these engines ideal candidates for military and ...

Catalytic Glow Plugs
PCI is developing catalytic glow plug technology to expand the capabilities of engines using heavy fuels, such as diesel or JP-8. These fuels are less volatile during transport and relatively easier to refine from petroleum than their traditional counterparts (e.g. aviation gasoline), but heavy fueled engines have historically been plagued by reliability issues. PCI"s catalytic glow plug technology helps solve reliability problems thus providing a safer ...
