Germany’s BASF AG (BASF) recently announced that it has in the United States New Jersey Poll Satsuma (Somerset, New Jersey) the formal establishment of fuel cell production equipment so as to promote energy development in the field of management leadership.
This set of modern equipment of the production and use of advanced automation technology, the core of manufacturing fuel cells - that is, high temperature membrane electrode assemblies (MEA). MEA in each cell, hydrogen and air react with water produce electricity and heat. This innovative, patented by BASF Celtec brand products are sold in the market, which help to promote the fuel cell industry to accelerate development to meet the current and future energy supply increasingly serious situation.
BASF R & D as a result of a new type of MEA with the world’s first commercial high-temperature fuel cell membrane, the operating temperature can reach between 120 ℃ -180 ℃, it is a systems integrator opened a new vision. This innovative product has no humidification in the case of the unique ability to run; a more simple system; and of hydrogen and impurity gas in the air have a greater tolerance. Therefore compared with the other polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell technology, has great advantages.
Celtec high temperature membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) can be widely used in many areas. For example, the efficiency of an unprecedented supply of private residential units to provide electricity and heating and hot water; or for the protection of the backup power system.
Traditional low-temperature fuel cell system can not exceed the maximum operating temperature 80 ℃, and the need for a large number of ancillary units and complex control systems and hydration systems, as well as purification of a hydrogen reformer unit. BASF is equipped with the high-temperature membrane electrode assemblies for fuel cells in hydrogen-resistant impurities, and can be air-cooled without water for hydration. Therefore, no need to air humidifier, pumps, tanks, valves and cleaning system.
BASF executive board member and executive director of research, said Dr. Andrea kimaye , high-temperature membrane electrode assemblies has led to the development of fuel cells in a breakthrough in the field. He said: “The Satsuma Poll in New Jersey to establish a world-class equipment, is designed to meet current and future growing customer needs. With our alternative energy system partners closely with the development, BASF’s high-temperature membrane electrode component products in the future will be strengthened and improved, will enable more low-cost fuel cells and energy is widely used. “
