Mevodena – high efficiency cheap membranes for hydrogen purification
Better alternativeТhe transport of hydrogen through the lattice of group 5 metals (V, Nb, Ta) is orders of
magnitude faster. Thin Pd coating is applied to the group-5 metal composite membrane to catalyze absorption-desorption of H2 and protect the membrane from corrosion.
We offer technology for much more efficient and much less costly selective membranes
Current situationPalladium is consdered to have a unique ability for hydrogen permeation. High purity hydrogen is produced by palladium alloy membranes. These membranes are extremely expensive and inefficient.
