We also offer expert consulting services to support custom projects and industrial applications.
Our Mission
At REB Research & Consulting, we deliver innovative, science-driven solutions in chemical engineering, hydrogen technology, and advanced materials. We are dedicated to helping clients solve complex technical challenges through expert research and practical consulting. With a commitment to precision and excellence, we bridge the gap between scientific innovation and real-world application.
Dr. Buxbaum
The company was founded in 1987 by Dr. Robert E. Buxbaum, at that time a professor at Michigan State University. He’d worked, at Princeton, on the problems of extracting tritium (radioactive hydrogen) at low concentration from the breeder blanket of a nuclear fusion reactor. He developed an understanding of the quantum mechanics of light element diffusion, new techniques in hydrogen sorption and pumping, and the design for a very high permeability metal membrane. This lead to the first practical membrane reactor.
Growth
REB’s first products were a series of cost-effective, palladium-membrane-based, hydrogen purifiers and a hydrogen generator that converted methanol – and water – to high purity hydrogen.
REB Research has since expanded to providing test equipment, membrane distillation columns for sewer gas treatment, polymeric membranes, water-gas shift and reforming catalysts, plus some hydrogen getters, furnaces, and hydrogen barrier coats. These products are time-tested and developed to the highest quality.
