Angstrom Advanced Inc was invited to Minneapolis, MN to speak about the future of using Hydrogen (Steam Reforming and PSA technology) to improve Biomass development and economy, at the 2013 International Biomass Conference and Expo.

“Today we focus on hydrogen-from-biomass. As a renewable energy source, biomass can either be used directly, or indirectly—once or converted into another type of energy product such as bio-fuel.

By processing biomass through various routes, we can get lots of products such as bio oil, biogas, biodiesel, ethanol… but it’s better to transform them further to hydrogen through reforming reaction while collecting the carbon dioxide meanwhile.

The most important reason we adopt hydrogen as final energy carrier instead of other forms is the inherit properties of hydrogen:1) clean, 2) inexhaustible, 3) high energy density. ” More articles will be released about using Hydrogen in Biomass projects. Please pay attention to our press releases.

North America Clean Energy, the leading magazine and internet media in Renewable Energy sector published again an article from us about our innovative collaboration of Hydrogen and Biomass technology. “A new application of hydrogen is being deployed which is helping solve humanity’s ever-evolving energy woes. Traditionally, hydrogen has a large number of applications – used in everything from industrial products to food packaging. Ammonia used in fertilizer and industrial processes amounted to 160 Million tons worldwide in 2011; hydrogen is a primary component in ammonia. The market demand for new, less expensive sources of hydrogen is driven heavily by fertilizer and manufacturing, however, a new market demand is emerging for hydrogen in another sector – energy. Power plants in Germany as well as Canada (using wind and natural gas, respectively) are today supplementing their primary electrical generators with advanced configurations of hydrogen technologies. These retrofits help the plants save money by smoothing supply, converting excess electricity generated into storable hydrogen gas which can be returned to electricity using a turbine generator or a fuel cell. ” (The drawing is referred to a famous biomass manufacturer, Nexterra)

A Profitable, Clean Tech Solution to Grid Congestion in China

Boston,MA United States

Angstrom Advanced Inc has paid a lot of attention to what is going on in China, especially the renewable energy section. The leading magazine “Energy Digital” recently published an article from Verde about this market opportunity:

“As China’s economy rapidly grows, the energy sector faces two major challenges: an imbalance of supply and demand and a lack of distribution and transmission infrastructure.

As by far the largest wind power market in the world (with 63 GW installed capacity), China gets more than 30% of its wind market’s revenue from federal subsidies—an exceptional amount of support from the government that has adversely caused a massive oversupply issue. In 2011, abandoned wind power amounted to over 10 billion KWh, exceeding 50 percent of the industry’s profit. Much of that energy was wasted, mostly positioned near farms lacking sufficient distribution/transmission infrastructure capable of moving excess energy to areas of higher demand. ”

The leading clean energy magazine “Distributed Energy” has recently published an article about the cutting-edge technology Angstrom Advanced has developed to specially serve the Distributed Renewable Energy market: “Hydrogen is a very valuable alternative to fossil fuel for distributed energy generation, delivering a high-powered solution with minimal environmental and safety concerns. Green businesses, telecomm providers, governments, and renewable energy advocates can now produce on-demand energy for their assets, at minimal cost and using commercially available equipment. This article will look at the benefits associated with hydrogen and fuel cell energy systems compared to fossil fuel and chemical alternatives as well as the inherent costs associated with a fuel cell on-demand generator. This analysis will show that it is not only technically feasible to use hydrogen for on-demand energy in certain, but also that it can be more economic than the alternatives. Diesel generators are valuable when used only for applications that have short run times (less than eight hours per day) and where they are in proximity to a low-cost fuel source. For longer run times, and when used in more remote and extreme conditions, renewable hydrogen generators are an ideal solution for providing on-demand energy…

Angstrom Advanced PSA Nitrogen/Oxygen generator gets N2 / O2 by pressure swing adsorption principle at normal temperature using clean compressed air as raw material and carbon molecular sieve as adsorbent. Because of the different adsorption of oxygen and nitrogen on carbon molecular sieve surface as well as different diffusion rate through the open/close of program control valve; separation of oxygen and nitrogen is achieved and N2 of required purify is created.

In this setup, compressed air is pumped through a compressor filter, along with polymer membrane filters. Due to variable solubility and proliferation factors, different gasses in the air penetrate the membrane at different rates, allowing for their separation. Based on their diffusion rates, the gasses in the air are then placed into one of two categories: “rapid gas” or “slow gas.” After being compacted and purified (to remove oil, water, and dust), the air will be passed through the membrane in order to create a separation of the gasses. The “rapid gasses,” oxygen, carbon dioxide, and some vapors, will be the first to infiltrate the membrane wall, and exit through a discharge port via air pressure. Because nitrogen is characterized as a “slow gas,” it will flow from the gas collector at the end of the pressure box, and finally enter a buffer tank where it will be stored.
