Our client is fabricating and designing state-of-the-art fuel cells for industrial applications. Their technology used a catalyst to strip off hydrogen atoms from natural gas for use in the fuel cell. In order to control the process, knowledge of light-off position was critical.
Working with SAS personnel, data from their process was used to develop a kinetic model of the process. This model was the set-up in a Visual Basic program so the client could rapidly determine light-off locations as a function of various input parameters.
