Design of additively manufactured methanol conversion reactor for high throughput production
Abstract
Additively manufactured methanol conversion reactor was designed and fabricated for high throughput fuel production while capturing carbon dioxide. Here, the reactor designed is part of large effort in integrating electrolyzer and catalytic reactor system. Processing in fabricating the steel, titanium, and nickel alloy reactors were optimized to improve the catalyst deposition process and reaction efficiency. Microstructure of the additively manufactured reactors were characterized. General design is utilized to improve the performance of the reactor while exploring the benefit of freeform in additive manufacturing.
