We offer high quality hydrogen products and professional consulting from an expert with nearly 40 years experience.
Who We Are
REB Research specializes in gas separation, particularly hydrogen purification or removal, typically involving metallic membranes. This includes purifiers, membrane reactors, and hydrogen engineering generally. We also do consulting.
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 experimental 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.
Our Mission
At REB Research & Consulting, our mission is to 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.
