Purification and Trapping of Biohydrogen

Solarvest has developed a cutting-edge technology that enables algae to produce hydrogen in a continuous cycle in a single vessel. The hydrogen is released along with carbon dioxide and water, and intermittently the algae needs to be permitted to carry out photosynthesis, which generates oxygen. This project entails the construction, installation and testing of a system that will separate the biohydrogen produced from these other gases, and which will purify and quantify it and allow it to be re-released on demand as a fuel or chemical feedstock.
