Described are storage and dispensing systems, and related methods, for storing and selectively dispensing high purity reagent gas from a storage vessel in which the reagent gas is held in sorptive relationship to pyrolyzed carbon adsorption particles.

This invention provides a means of loading, processing and conditioning raw production gas, production of CGL, storage, transport, and delivery of pipeline quality natural gas or fractionated products to market. The CGL transport vessel utilizes a pipe based containment system to hold more densely packed constituents of natural gas held within a light hydrocarbon solvent than it is possible to attain for natural gas alone under such conditions. The containment system is supported by process systems for loading and transporting the natural gas as a liquid and unloading the CGL from the containment system and then offloading it in the gaseous state. The system can also be utilized for the selective storage and transport of NGLs to provide a total service package for the movement of natural gas and associated gas production. The mode of storage is suited for both marine and land transportation and configured in modular form to suit a particular application and/or scale of operation.

A hydrogen storage device (100A) comprises: a pressure vessel (230A), having a first fluid inlet (210A) and/or a first fluid outlet (220A), having therein a thermally conducting network (240A) optionally thermally coupled to a first heater and/or a first cooler; wherein the pressure vessel (230A) is arranged to receive therein a hydrogen storage material in thermal contact, at least in part, with the thermally conducting network (240A); wherein the thermally conducting network (240A) preferably has a lattice geometry, a gyroidal geometry and/or a fractal geometry in two and/or three dimensions, comprising a plurality of nodes, having thermally conducting arms therebetween, with voids between the arms; and wherein the thermally conducting network (240A) comprises fluidically interconnected passageways therein, for example within the arms and/or the nodes thereof, for flow therethough of a fluid.

A storage vessel to contain reagent material. The storage vessel includes a vessel with a bottom, a top, an outlet at the top, sidewalls extending from the bottom to the top, a valve at the outlet, and an interior defined by the bottom, the top, and the sidewalls, the interior including a volume, and an extension tube having a first end engaged with the valve and a second end located toward a center of the interior volume from the first end such that, regardless of orientation of the vessel, the second end is above at least 25 percent of a volume of the interior volume.

The invention relates to a metal hydride hydrogen storage and supply arrangement integrated for use in a fuel cell utility vehicle. The storage arrangement includes a plurality of metal hydride containers suitable to be filled with a metal hydride material, the containers being connectable in parallel to a gas manifold; heat transfer means located between the metal hydride containers; and a filler body located in a space between the metal hydride containers and the heat transfer means.

Metal Organic Framework (MOF) materials and methods of making MOF materials. The methods include grinding of mixtures of metal hydroxide(s) and ligand(s). The MOF materials may have at least two different ligands. The MOF materials may have open metal sites. The MOF materials can be used in gas storage applications.

A device and method for carbon dioxide capture using circumscribed hollow membranes is disclosed. The device includes a hollow membrane unit having an inner conduit composed of a vapor membrane, and an outer conduit having an inside surface circumscribing the inner conduit forming a lumen. The outer conduit includes a CO.sub.2 pump membrane. The device also includes a mechanical pump maintaining a pressure differential between the lumen and the atmosphere, providing a product stream of CO.sub.2-rich gas from the lumen. The vapor membrane is sufficiently hydrophobic and porous to contain liquid water while also allowing water vapor formed by evaporation to pass through into the lumen. As water vapor passes from the lumen to the atmosphere through the CO.sub.2 pump membrane, a carbon concentration gradient is formed and maintained across the CO.sub.2 pump membrane. The carbon concentration gradient actively pumps CO.sub.2 out of the atmosphere and into the lumen.

A dry vapor cryogenic storage container includes an absorbent core made from a porous material that absorbs a liquid cryogen and releases the cryogen in vapor form as the absorbed liquid evaporates. Fluid channels are formed in the absorbent core to increase the available surface area through which the liquid cryogen can be absorbed. The core can absorb the cryogenic liquid much faster with inclusion of the fluid channels. The absorbent core can be made by cutting a cavity and drilling holes in a stack of calcium silicate panels. The cavity holds a contents container or an inner core. The inner core can be part of an extractor and made from porous material including fluid channels for absorbing liquid cryogen. Contents containers can be housed in the inner core.
