A new HPR-20 from Hiden Analytical was successfully installed at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”. It will be used in the Decarbonisation and Sustainability” laboratory of prof. Domenico Borello, in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.
The system will be used for two different activities. With the standard heated Quartz Inlet Capillary, the system will measure high-hydrogen content syngas produced from biomass gasification. Specifically, the task involves the production of syngas through the sorbent Enhanced Gasification (SEG) process of biomass and the subsequent water gas shift (WGS) with CO₂ capture. Thanks to the quantification capabilities of the MS, which offers automated routines for calibration, the system will analyse the composition of the final synthesis gas, after a purification process.
The system also features an ultra low flow heated version of the inlet, capable of sampling small quantities of gas (250 μl/min). In this configuration, the HPR-20 will be used for concentration and purity measurements of hydrogen produced through the electrolysis of water, using alkaline and anion exchange electrolyzers with alternative membrane.
