Latest Patents

Roy is associated with 1 patent, titled “Method of Purifying Helium from Mixed Gas.” The invention describes a hydrogen separation unit with an electrochemical cell stack. A mixed-gas conduit delivers the stream to the anode side, while separate removal conduits collect a helium-rich stream from the anode side and a hydrogen-rich stream from the cathode side.

The stack contains multiple electrochemical cells, each with a proton exchange membrane positioned between an anode and a cathode. The membrane may include a cation, and the separation stack may be configured as a cascading system. Together, these features are designed to separate hydrogen from a mixed gas while producing a helium-rich stream.
