Fuel-flexible fuel processors (F3P), producing hydrogen to power fuel cells, provide several options for future near zero emission vehicles. Hydrogen Burner Technology, Inc. (HBT) has established an underoxidized-burner (UOB) technology, patented and proven in commercial use for industrial hydrogen generation applications. HBT is developing a subsystem in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy based on the UOB technology. This F3P subsystem can produce a hydrogen-rich product gas using a variety of gaseous or liquid fuels as feed-stock. The resulting hydrogen-rich gas stream (reformate) may be directly useable by proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells powering electric driven vehicles. Several gaseous and liquid fuel results are being examined and the general considerations for feedstock reforming is being discussed. Direct attention is being paid to system efficiency, start-up times, and scrubbing out carbon monoxide. Initial tests of the F3P have established that the system efficiency and reformate constitution meet the performance goals, while size and weight are still below set targets. Fully integrated advanced design concepts are being developed offering improved efficiency and reduced mass and volume.
