H2 PRODUCTION, storage, dispense
Bringing H2 Fuel to the West Coast
Ed Green and a team of engineers working for Tersus Power have created a hydrogen generation system via steam methane reforming that fits within a 1,000 SF footprint. It generates hydrogen from natural gas and steam, purifies it to 99.997%, compresses it to 900 bar (13,000 psi) using a new technology called metal hydride compression, stores it in a patent pending storage vessel that allows access to 99% of the hydrogen at 900 bar (current storage vessels only allow access to 15% of the hydrogen above 700 bar, precools the hydrogen to -40C and dispenses it to vehicles. There is also carbon capture with liquification of the CO2. This was a start from scratch project that is ongoing and will probably hire more engineers as funding becomes available.
As this is a large-scale project, the timeline spans across multiple years. As prototypes are developed and implemented to fueling locations in the US West coast, hydrogen fuel availability and consequently the efficacy of hydrogen fueled vehicles will be greatly increased.
By combining the processing, storage, and distribution systems into one unit, the transportation cost of material product is greatly reduced, and the overall efficiency of the process is maximized.

Using a dual-stage process, Hydrogen is produced by from both methane and byproduct carbon monoxide.
Water is pre-processed using a reverse osmosis treatment to ensure the quality of reaction. Similarly, methane is treated. Employing the use of a 2-stage steam ejector we have eliminated the need for natural gas compression.
Steam and Natural Gas are mixed together then heated to a high temperature. The mixture then flows over a catalyst which transforms the CH4 and H2O into H2, CO, CO2, and H2O
The first reaction of methane and steam takes place in the reformer (top right) in order to generate CO and H2. The thermal analysis of the reaction within the reformer is pictured above.
Finite Element analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamic simulations were used to verify both the quality of the reaction as well as the integrity of the reformer's internal structure.
Our design studies have promising results, showing a life expectancy of over 250% when compared to that of typical small-scale reformers.
Our second-stage reactor takes water and carbon monoxide produced in the CH4-H20 reaction to create even more H2 as well as CO2, which is separated and isolated in the system.
By reducing the need for compressor maintenance both reliability and cost effectiveness are significantly improved.
On the west coast, providing a solution which is conscious of water usage is a must. Our design limits wastewater to a minimum in order to match the current conditions of the region.
Dispensing equipment is specifically designed in order to match conditions for immediate operational use.
Using a sophisticated AI developed specifically for this application, the station learns average demands over time. This allows for the device to reduce power usage in both processing and storage capacities.
Compressed at a higher-than-average pressure, these storage devices allow a greater portion of stored H2 to be used for application.
Boom lift/dump trailer
Oftentimes in the tree-removal industry, trees are too heavy to be lifted even when cut to length. Companies will regularly have to bring in extra equipment simply to deal with lifting, leading to extra trucks, extra manpower, and extra expenses along the way.
Jarvis Tree Service brought the idea of an all-in-one solution for lifting and dumping. We analyzed the boom and dump trailer and created manufacturing drawings.
Versatility: The lift boom can have several different commercially available hydraulic grapple hooks attached to the end for lifting heavy logs into the dump trailer.
As we analyzed the design, we made changes to meet the stress requirements as well as made changes to improve manufacturability. Our final analysis shows boom has a lifting capacity of 625 lbs at 20 feet extension to the side.
The trailer assembly was sized to withstand an overload condition of 20,000 lbs without failure although that exceeds the axle's rated capacity.
Design of Residential housing
From the design to the actual construction, Ed Green built his own place of residence
Horizontal Swing Grapple loader
Conventional grapples take a curved path. In residential applications, these devices regularly damage lawns which require repair. We created a grapple hook where the path of the tip of the hook is perfectly horizontal which will minimize damage to the lawn or other surfaces items are being grapple lifted from.
GLEN'S FROZEN CUSTARD
Soon to be undergoing construction, the building for Glen's Frozen Custard will be housed in Lower Burrel, PA.
Designed for Smith Metal Buildings
Design conditions were considered using the most up-to-date building codes for the region to create all building schedules. Our construction documents contained everything the client would need from structural and electrical to plumbing.
Design plans were created in-line with current building standards. All mechanical components of the structure were included.
The design of the new building was from this image
