Early production stage hydrogen generation company AlumiFuel Power Inc (API), the US-based wholly owned operating subsidiary of AlumiFuel Power Corporation, has announced that it has developed a formulation which rapidly terminates its hydrogen-generating reaction of aluminum with water, facilitating its development and commercialisation of advanced reactor systems for military and commercial applications.

The formulation is composed of a mixture of proprietary additives that are dissolved in water and added to the reaction.

The aqueous solution is added using the same pathway as the primary water injection. Upon infusing with the main reactant mix, the additives immediately stop the production of hydrogen. A different additive infusion can be used to restart the reaction. Similar to other formulations of API’s AlumiFuel mixture, the termination mix uses inexpensive, non-toxic ingredients.
