After a successful collaboration with SAIT in an NSERC Engage project, Surepoint Technologies Group Ltd. (STG) is pursuing the next stage of applied research to advance its proprietary hydrogen peroxide-based technology. STG's vision is to commercialize this technology as a green alternative to the combustion of natural gas and methane for the heating requirements of oil and gas processes. The technology uses catalytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to produce thermal energy - a process that does not produce GHG emissions. During the Engage project, SAIT and STG performed several trials on the bench to demonstrate the exothermic nature of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. The team used a setup consisting of a feed reservoir, pressure vessel/chemical reactor, valves, tubing, pressure gauges and a thermocouple. The Engage project was deemed a success because the team was able to stabilize the chemical reaction and demonstrate through multiple tests that temperatures and pressures in excess of 185C and 2000psi were achievable. Other tests showed that, from among the four substances tested, silver was the best catalyst. The proposed research seeks to develop novel methods to regulate and control the chemical reaction by determining the optimal conditions for the reaction, creating a continuous process and process automation. The team intends to design and fabricatea scaled-up chemical reactor outfitted with a process control system that enables safe operation with minimal downtime, produces heat efficiently, and can be operated with ease. Attention will be given to the mechanical design, catalyst selection and optimization, operating conditions, start-up and shut-down protocols. The optimized technology will have the capability to change the way heat is generated in oil and gas operations, industrial plants and consumer applications.

在与 SAIT 在 NSERC Engage 项目中成功合作后，Surepoint Technologies Group Ltd. (STG) 正在开展下一阶段的应用研究，以推进其基于过氧化氢的专有技术。 STG 的愿景是将这项技术商业化，作为天然气和甲烷燃烧的绿色替代品，以满足石油和天然气工艺的加热要求。该技术利用过氧化氢的催化分解来产生热能，这一过程不会产生温室气体排放。 在 Engage 项目期间，SAIT 和 STG 在工作台上进行了多次试验，以证明过氧化氢分解的放热性质。该团队使用的装置包括进料罐、压力容器/化学反应器、阀门、管道、压力表和热电偶。 Engage 项目被认为是成功的，因为该团队能够稳定化学反应，并通过多次测试证明可以实现超过 185°C 和 2000psi 的温度和压力。其他测试表明，在测试的四种物质中，银是最好的催化剂。 拟议的研究旨在通过确定反应的最佳条件、创建连续过程和过程自动化来开发调节和控制化学反应的新方法。该团队打算设计和制造一个配备过程控制系统的大型化学反应器，该系统能够安全运行，最大限度地减少停机时间，高效产生热量，并且易于操作。将关注机械设计、催化剂选择和优化、操作条件、启动和关闭协议。优化后的技术将能够改变石油和天然气运营、工厂和消费应用中产生热量的方式。
