Energy Generation from Bioreactor Hydrogen

HUBBARD, OH -- NanoLogix, Inc. a nano-biotechnology company announced it has achieved an historical event with the first onsite generation of electricity using hydrogen gas produced from its bioreactor prototype facility at Welch Foods Inc., a Cooperative in Pennsylvania.

A 5.5 kW generator converted to run on hydrogen was utilized for the demonstration. The generator ran flawlessly on hydrogen gas produced by NanoLogix’s hydrogen bioreactor system and powered multiple strings of 100-watt light bulbs.

“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time in history that electricity has been generated anywhere onsite using hydrogen produced through the use of bacteria to digest waste”, said Harry Diz, Department Chair and Professor of Environmental Engineering at Gannon University and NanoLogix Bioreactor Development chief.

Paul Zorzie, Welch’s Engineering Manager, stated, “Welch’s is happy to provide the site at which this groundbreaking research into generating alternative energy from waste is taking place. We look forward to the potential of building upon these developments to scale up and use this energy for our operation.”

Bret Barnhizer, Chairman and CEO of NanoLogix, stated, “We are delighted at the results of the work by Professor Diz and associates and anticipate potential upscaling of the Welch’s operation to commercial bioreactor status. The Welch’s development enabling conversion of sugar from their wastewater stream to produce hydrogen has contributed immeasurably to ongoing research and development for processing other types of waste streams. Linked to that development and following our business plan for expansion, in the spring of 2008 we intend to begin bioreactor construction at the Erie Wastewater Treatment Plant for the extraction of hydrogen from their protein-rich activated sludge waste stream.”

尽管这个技术还在原型机阶段，但是不得不说技术发展之快，让我们很兴奋，想一想，宜生物分解的废水，通过生化方法产氢，驱动发电机发电。很美好的前景。
现在比较成熟的能用的能量回收，就是用UASB,EGSB,IC等厌氧产甲烷菌获得的甲烷来驱动锅炉。但是，如果有产氢的方法，是否更好呢。
想听听各位同仁的意见。
