SBIR Phase I: Clean and Efficient Catalytic Combustion of Methane

这个小企业创新研究一期项目旨在开发一种低温甲烷催化燃烧器，用于发电、空气净化和排放控制。在该项目的第一阶段，PCI将为短通道长度、高电池密度（SCL-HCD）的金属单体元素开发一种附着的高比表面积涂层，将催化活性相（钯）结合到由此产生的高比表面积衬底上，并测试这些催化剂系统在甲烷低温催化氧化中的可行性和效率。这项技术在超低氮氧化物发电方面具有潜在的重要应用。由于与NOx产生相关的经济损失，催化燃烧越来越被认为是一种清洁高效的废气处理替代方案。基于之前PCI在催化燃烧应用中的工作，SCL-HCD金属单体催化燃烧器可以适用于各种尺寸、范围的发电，从非常小的移动源应用（30千瓦范围）到产生200兆瓦功率的机器。＊＊＊

*** 9760946 Roychoudhry This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I Project is aimed at developing a low temperature methane catalytic combustor for applications in power generation, air purification and emissions control. In Phase I of this Project, PCI will develop an adherent high specific surface area coating for the, short channel length, high cell density (SCL-HCD) metal monolith elements, incorporate the catalytically active phase (of palladium) on the resulting high specific area substrate, and test the viability and efficiency of these catalyst systems for low temperature catalytic oxidation of methane. This technology has potentially important applications for ultra-low NOx power generation. Because of the economic penalties associated with NOx production, catalytic combustion is being increasingly recognized as a clean and efficient alternative to exhaust after treatment. Based on previous PCI work in catalytic combustion applications, an SCL-HCD metal monolith based catalytic combustor could be appropriate for power generation across the full size, range, from very small mobile source applications (30 kW range) up through machines generating two hundred MW of power. ***
