Introduction

Paul Matthews is an inventor associated with Utility Global, Inc., based in Katy, Texas. His patent work concerns hydrogen production through an integrated system that combines catalytic partial oxidation with electrochemical conversion.

Latest Patents

Matthews is identified with one patent: “Integrated Hydrogen Production System and Method of Use.” The invention describes a tubular reactor with an anode on its inside and a cathode on its outside, separated by a mixed-conducting electrolyte. The electrolyte includes electronically and ionically conducting phases, and the reactor is designed without a current collector or interconnect.

In the described method, a hydrocarbon and an oxidant enter a feed tube containing a catalyst that promotes catalytic partial oxidation. The feed tube extends into the reactor, while steam is introduced outside it. The system converts steam to hydrogen electrochemically without an external electricity input. Matthews’s record lists 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Matthews’s listed patent highlights an approach to hydrogen production that integrates reactor design, catalytic reactions, and electrochemical conversion. The patent describes a system intended to produce hydrogen without supplying electricity to the electrochemical process.
