39. Mevodena – high efficiency cheap membranes for
39
hydrogen purification
Current situation
Palladium is consdered to have a unique ability for
hydrogen permeation. High purity hydrogen is
produced by palladium alloy membranes.
These membranes are extremely expensive and
inefficient.
Better alternative
Тhe transport of hydrogen through the lattice of group 5 metals (V, Nb, Ta) is orders of
magnitude faster. Thin Pd coating is applied to the group-5 metal composite membrane to
catalyze absorption-desorption of H2 and protect the membrane from corrosion.
We offer technology for much more efficient and much less costly
selective membranes

Я приехал к Вам из северного города Санкт-Петербурга. Он находится на западе России, на берегах Балтийского моря, в 150 км. от Финляндии и в 150 км. от Эстонии.
Город был основан в 1703 году императором Петром Великим, как новая столица России. И он был столицей более 200 лет, после чего большевики перенесли столицу обратно в Москву. С тех пор мы очень не любим москвичей. ))
Санкт-Петербург расположен на 60-м градусе северной широты. Это та же широта, что Стокгольм и Анкоридж на Аляске. Тем, кто читал Джека Лондона, скажу, что все его рассказы про Белое Безмолвие, посвященные золотой лихорадке на Аляске, разворачиваются в тех же широтах. Но у нас теплее, так как есть теплое течение Гольфстрим.
Географически нам гораздо проще поехать в Хельсинки, чем в Москву. Поэтому Санкт-Петербург – очень международный город.
Население – 5 млн. человек. Это немного для Азии, но много для Европы – население всей Финляндии меньше!
Санкт-Петербург – город науки и образования. Здесь находятся более 60 университетов, десятки научно-исследовательских институтов. У города огромный научно-промышленный потенциал.
И это очень красивый город, Северная Венеция или Северная Пальмира. Приезжайте в гости, ---- но лучше летом!!
Главный петербургский дворец – Зимний Дворец. В нем расположен Эрмитаж, главный музей искусств страны, второй по величине коллекции музей в мире после Лувра. 8 миллионов экспонатов.
Характерная черта Петербурга – реки и каналы, за это его называют Северной Венецией. Разводные мосты через реку Неву летом – точка притяжения как для туристов, так и для горожан.
Крылатые львы – тоже один из символов города. На заднем плане – Спас-на-крови, храм, построенный на месте убийства императора Александра II террористом с бомбой.
Ингрия – один из наиболее успешных городских проектов в области инноваций. Ингрия, или Инкери – название финского племени, которое населяло эти земли задолго до основания Санкт-Петербурга. Мы работаем в Санкт-Петербурге, но у нас есть партнеры во всей России и за рубежом.
Ингрия – это место для ускоренного развития стартап-компаний. Мы создаем и обслуживаем инновационную экосистему города. В 2010 году Российская версия журнала Форбс назвала нас в числе 5 лучших бизнес-инкубаторов России, и в 2012 год мы подтвердили этот статус
