NEW Company Press Release.

AlumiFuel Power, Inc.'s PBIS-1000 Portable Hydrogen Generator is Now Commercially Available.

Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power, Inc. (“API”), the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation (OTCBB: AFPW), (the “Company”), announced today that its Portable Balloon Inflation System-1000 (PBIS-1000) hydrogen generator is now available for purchase by military and meteorological service customers worldwide. Lift gas unit sales will be through Kaymont Consolidated, Inc. of Long Island, NY, the world’s largest weather balloon distributor, and API’s partner for lift gas applications.

API’s PBIS-1000, manufactured to API’s specifications by APEX Piping Systems, Inc., relies on the robust chemical reaction among aluminum, water, and proprietary additives. Operation of the generator is simple: two 32-oz. “aluminum can” cartridges, containing aluminum powder and proprietary additives, are inserted into two reactor vessels in the unit. Water is poured into the unit’s water tank, and a hand pump is then used to inject water into the cartridges, generating 1,000 liters of hydrogen in 20 minutes.

This fourth generation PBIS-1000 was designed and developed for lift gas operations based on feedback from an unspecified military customer following live demonstrations of earlier generations of the unit over an 18-month period. The PBIS-1000 is presently being displayed at the Kaymont booth at the annual American Meteorological Society Meeting in Atlanta.

The production unit has a simpler design with fewer components, and is lighter, more compact, more ruggedized for military applications, more user-friendly, and more cost-effective. Using a higher grade stainless steel construction with better corrosion properties and durable fluorocarbon rubber for all seals, the upgraded unit can better withstand required pressures and temperatures over its long expected lifetime. The reactor and water tanks, as well as all plumbing lines and connectors, have been optimized for weight, simplicity, and cost, and are stamped and certified with the ASME code – a standard requirement for commercial pressure vessels. The unit meets Mil Spec requirements for vibration, environmental and drop tests, and is housed in a molded polyethylene carrying case used regularly by the military.
For balloon filling applications, the unit replaces other lift gas sources such as increasingly scarce helium and hydrogen generated and delivered by other means such as K-Cylinders, and expensive steam reforming and electrolysis processes. The PBIS-1000 is ideal for remote or other locations where no external power is available and delivery of other hydrogen sources is difficult or impractical. The unit is priced at $15,000, with each cartridge priced at $20. The PBIS-1000 is sized to fill and launch weather and special purpose balloons that are 100g or larger (5 feet in diameter and up). A smaller unit, the PBIS-500, which uses one cartridge instead of two, is also available for pilot balloon applications (30g or 18 inches in diameter). The PBIS-500 unit is priced at $10,000, and the cans at $15.

While API’s hydrogen generator was initially designed for the remote inflation of weather balloons, the quality of hydrogen the reactor generates is easily adaptable to fuel cells and many other systems requiring remote/portable hydrogen. Currently, large, heavy and hard-to-handle steel “K-Cylinders” under very high pressures are used to transport and deliver hydrogen to customers. The PBIS-1000 unit instead relies on small unpressurized cartridges of aluminum powder and any available water source. This greatly reduces the cost and danger of transporting hydrogen, and makes hydrogen available to previously inaccessible locations.

Mr. David Cade, API’s President and Chief Executive Officer said: “This important milestone is the culmination of two years of intense engineering development by our technical staff. The PBIS-1000 is a one-of-a-kind product in the global hydrogen industry, and will have a far reaching impact on user’s applications requiring instant, cost-effective hydrogen for lift gas operations and small-scale remote and portable power.”

Parties interested in learning more about the PBIS-1000 technology, engineering and operations, should contact Mr. Sean McIntosh, API’s Director of Engineering, at 215-921-9203.
