At the University of Maine Applied Electrolysis Laboratory, AEL, we are developing solutions to electrolysis applications. We have developed and tested electrolysis reactor prototypes for the co-production of hydrogen and chlorine. This includes mass and energy balances. We have prepared techno-economic analysis of integrated processes for private equity firms. We are developing a process logic controller for data collection, analysis and process control.

Our facility is located within the Chemical and Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of Maine, in Orono (UMaine). Our team consists of undergraduate and graduate students. We have students with backgrounds in chemical, biomedical and electrical engineering.
