Methanol Reforming Hydrogen Generators

TTE is the exclusive agent for Hydrogen Union Energy Co. Ltd.'s (HUE) hydrogen generation technology throughout all of North America. HUE is a subsidiary of Taiwan Energy Technology Services Co., Ltd. (ETS).

Hydrogen (H2) is an ideal fuel for combustion — it burns easily and efficiently at very high temperatures and emits pure water vapor (H2O) as its only by-product. But the gas is a difficult fuel to work with. Exisiting methods for transporting and storing hydrogen (namely high-pressure compression and liquefaction) are complex, inefficient, and expensive. It's also the smallest molecule in existence ... and tends naturally to leak; only exacerbating these problems.

In contrast, Methanol (CH4O, also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol) is abundant, widely accessible, easy to handle, and inexpensive. Utilizing a gas reformation process employing a proprietary chemical catalyst and a unique low temperature pyrolytic reaction, HUE's extraordinary generator converts common methanol into clean-buring hydrogen gas for immediate on-site use. The process removes all harmful emissions except for food grade carbon dioxide, which can be captured and sold to the food and beverage industry.

The hydrogen generator can be used in a wide range of residential and commercial applications. It is also ideal for use in industrial equipment such as boilers, steam generators, and dryers. On-demand hydrogen generation eliminates the need for operators to have expensive high pressure storage tanks and infrastructure while still providing the many environmental benefits of using hydrogen fuel. Operators additionally save a further 30 to 60% of their energy costs as compared to using electricity or heavy oils do to the same job.

The following table shows the results of testing conducted to compare the efficiency of the Methanol Reforming Hydrogren Generator's on-demand Hydrogen Burner System to that of a conventional diesel fuel burner. For these repeated tests, the amount of fuel required for each device to raise the temperature of a controlled quantity of water by approximately 65º F was carefully recorded. The expense of the fuel consumed in these tests was then calculated and compared to determine the relative efficiency (or inefficiency) of each device's process:

Detonation Gas Cycle Turbine Engines

TTE owns an exclusive global license for the manufacturing and marketing of a highly innovative, low emissions turbine-based truck engine known as the Detonation Cycle Gas Turbine (DCGT) engine. Its patented cyclic detonation technology, when completed, could revolutionize the heavy-duty truck engine market.

The DCGT engine

• has no pistons or valves; and uses no lube oil, filters or pumps
• uses over 30% less fuel than current engine technologies
• significantly reduces nitrogen oxide (NO, NO2, N2O2) and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions
• operates on all fuels: hydrocarbon, hydrogen and synthetic
• has flex-fuel and mixed fuels capability
• has few moving parts, requiring less maintenance
• has a high power-to-weight ratio
• is lightweight (less than 2 lbs. per hp)
• is air cooled
• has cold start capability

DCGT technology is scalable. Envision DCGT powered motorbikes. Automobiles. Busses. Ships. DCGT technology being used in both small consumer generators and large municipal power stations. TTE continues to work tirelessly on DCGT development with its partners both in the United States and internationally.
