Here’s why sulfur elimination is our specialty:
SAE J2719:2020 “Hydrogen Fuel Quality for Fuel Cell Vehicles” sets the standard. For volatile sulfur compounds the maximum concentration is 4 ppb, the lowest of all contaminations because the 100% correlation between the concentration of catalyst poisoning sulfur and the lifetime and efficiency of the catalyst.1 This US Standard is very similar to the EU standard.
There is a direct negative relationship between sulfur content in hydrogen (H2) and the lifetime of a catalyst; higher sulfur content in the hydrogen significantly reduces the lifespan of a catalyst due to a phenomenon called "sulfur poisoning," where sulfur compounds bind to the active sites of the catalyst, inhibiting its ability to facilitate reactions effectively.
Key points about sulfur poisoning and mitigation:
- Mechanism:
Sulfur-containing molecules like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) readily adsorb onto the active sites of a catalyst blocking other reactants from accessing those sites and hindering the catalytic process. Even small amounts of sulfur can significantly decrease the activity and selectivity of a catalyst leading to a decline in product yield.
- Feedstock purification:
Removing sulfur compounds from the hydrogen feedstock before it reaches the catalyst is the most effective way to prevent sulfur poisoning.
HYDROGEN IS THE SOLUTION TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
THIS IS THE MISSING LINK TO THE HYDROGEN ECONOMY
THE FACT IS: THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF HYDROGEN, PRICE IS THE PROBLEM
#1 Steam Methane Reforming, SMR, accounts for roughly 95% of H2 production and is, by far, the least expensive way to mass-produce hydrogen with no or minimal production of CO2. For decades, hydrocarbon refiners have produced hydrogen for sweetening crude oil, and to make inexpensive commodity chemicals like ammonia and urea. Fuel Cells are the backbone of the hydrogen economy and require much cleaner hydrogen with the lowest possible sulfur content.
#2 Hydrogen Fuel Cells efficiently convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity and clean water, but the catalysts used in H2 Fuel Cells are expensive and very easily damaged by hydrogen sulfide, H2S, and other volatile sulfur compounds in the hydrogen. Sulfur impurities greatly reduce the lifetime and efficiency of H2 Fuel Cells; reducing the impurities by half will double the lifetime, and a 75% reduction will quadruple the lifetime, etc. for a HUGE impact on ROI and CO2 avoidance.
#3 Current H2 standards are lax because no inexpensive sorbent is currently available to purify the hydrogen below the EU standard of 4 ppb sulfur content in the H2 at the pumping station . The US goal is 1 ppb maximum sulfur content. EVEN WORSE, as H2 sits in the storage tank and as it travels through the pipes to the fuel cell, it can pick up impurities so that when it reaches the fuel cell it will not be as pure as when it was put in the storage tank. For a similar reason, fuel filters are always used just before the engine on conventional vehicles. FUEL CELLS NEED SIMILAR PROTECTION!
HERE’S THE SOLUTION: CLEAN low grade HYDROGEN to LOWER THE PRICE and MAGNIFY ROI STANDARD H2, INC. HAS THE MISSING LINK: The SULFUR MAGNET™ can reduce sulfur to below 200 ppt from any source of hydrogen. The H2 FINAL FILTER® contains the SULFUR MAGNET™, the most powerful inexpensive sulfur sorbent known to remove the catalyst killing sulfur compounds with its tenacious and high-capacity composition of non-toxic non-water-soluble granules. Use this to reduce the sulfur content to below 1 ppb and place it just before the fuel cell intake to MAGNIFY the ROI of H2 Fuel Cell ownership! Perhaps even better, the SULFUR MAGNET™ is transported with no DOT restrictions for the virgin or spent media, and the media is regenerable, easily recycled, or can be land-filled with no fear of contamination because the SULFUR MAGNET™ is not a combustible sponge like activated carbon, it is a stable chemical trap.

Pure Electrolytic Hydrogen with the SULFUR MAGNET™ & the H2 Final Filter®
H2 Fuel Cells rely on ultra-high purity hydrogen for efficient operation and long life for a high ROI. The catalysts used in fuel cells are expensive and easily damaged by volatile sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Unfortunately, the current paradigm uses electrolysis to produce hydrogen with by-product H2S that can contaminate the integrity of the H2 Fuel Cell, which reduces their efficiency and total lifetime.
Make electrolytic hydrogen pure the easy way using as SULFUR MAGNET™ water filter to remove sulfur from the water input to the cell and a H2 Final Filter® filled with the SULFUR MAGNET™ placed on the electrolytic cell’s output H2 line. The SULFUR MAGNET™ is the most tenacious, inexpensive, non-toxic sulfur sorbent for cleaning water, hydrogen, and other fluids. An independent third party found it reduced H2S from 1.902 ppm to under 200 ppt, the limit of detection. This is much cleaner than the current World standard of 4 ppb and would dramatically raise the ROI of H2 Fuel Cell ownership.
Reducing the sulfur content to 1 ppb would quadruple the efficiency and lifetime of the fuel cell. Hydrogen is the CO2 avoidance solution to stop global climate change and Standard H2, Inc. has the inexpensive solution to make the highest purity hydrogen from any source.
The SULFUR MAGNET™ is available for removing volatile sulfur compounds from most gases and most liquids. Please refer to the SDS for additional details.
What is Stream Methane Reforming (SMR)?
SMR is the primary method for hydrogen production in the U.S. The process uses high-temperature steam to convert methane, typically from natural gas, into hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and a small amount of carbon dioxide.
CH4 + H2O → CO + 3H2
The hydrocarbon refining industry already uses SMR to generates unpure H2. However, implementing the the SULFUR MAGNET ™ into our industries would generate pure H2. With the largest methane reserve in the world, the USA could easily become the world’s #1 source for clean hydrogen.
WHAT MAKES THE SULFUR MAGNET™ MULTIFUNCTIONAL MEDIA™ SO SPECIAL?
The SULFUR MAGNET™ MULTIFUNCTIONAL MEDIA™ was created to remove even the slightest traces of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from hydrogen and natural gas, in order to prevent damage to catalysts and other equipment.

Expand your Return on Investment (ROI) with the FINALFILTER™
H2 Fuel Cells rely on efficient operation and ultra-high purity hydrogen for a high ROI. Catalysts used in fuel cells are expensive and easily damaged by volatile sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Unfortunately, the current paradigm uses electrolysis to produce hydrogen with by-products that can contaminate the integrity of the H2 Fuel Cell which reduces their total lifetime.
Standard H2, Inc., maker of the SULFUR MAGNET™, recommends using a FINALFILTER™ placed in-line and as close as possible to the fuel intake to remove impurities in the fuel gas, the fuel line, and the fuel tank. Petroleum powered vehicles have fuel filters located just before the motor for the same reason.
Fortunately, the SULFUR MAGNET™ is the most tenacious absorbent of contaminants for cleaning hydrogen and other fluids. An independent third party found it reduced H2S from 1.902 ppm to under 200 ppt, the limit of detection. This is much cleaner than the current World standard of 4 ppb and would dramatically raise the ROI of H2 Fuel Cell ownership.
Hydrogen is the solution to stop global climate change via CO2 avoidance. And Standard H2 , Inc. has the inexpensive solution to make the highest purity hydrogen from water & methane without CO2 production.
Decarbonization by Steam Methane Reforming & the SULFUR MAGNET ™
Hydrogen is the solution to stop global climate change via CO2 avoidance. Standard H2 , Inc. has the inexpensive solution to make the highest purity hydrogen from water & methane without CO2 production.
The hydrocarbon refining industry already makes the most hydrogen and does it cheaply by reacting H2O (water) with CH4 (methane) making 3 molecules of H2 and one of CO. This process known as Steam Reforming, or the Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) process makes no CO2. This is not high grade H2 because their need is to hydrogenate crude oil, make urea, and make ammonia, which do not require pure H2.
However, they could produce vast amounts of ultra-high purity hydrogen by using the SULFUR MAGNET™ to polish their production of H2. With the largest methane reserve in the World, the USA could easily become the World’s #1 source for clean hydrogen.
