I-Hydrogen isetshenziswa kabanzi embonini yensimbi, ye-metallurgy, yamakhemikhali, ezokwelapha, embonini ekhanyayo, ezintweni zokwakha, e-electronics nakweminye imikhakha. Ubuchwepheshe bokuguqula i-methanol ukuze kukhiqizwe i-hydrogen kunezinzuzo zokutshala imali okuphansi, akukho kungcola, nokusebenza okulula. Isetshenziswe kabanzi kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezitshalo ze-hydrogen ezihlanzekile.
Hlanganisa i-methanol namanzi ngesilinganiso esithile, ukucindezela, ukushisa, ukuhwamuka bese ushisa ngokweqile ingxube ukuze ifinyelele izinga lokushisa elithile kanye nokucindezela, khona-ke phambi kwe-catalyst, ukusabela kokuqhekeka kwe-methanol kanye ne-CO shifting reaction yenza ngesikhathi esifanayo, futhi ukhiqize ingxube yegesi ene-H2, CO2 kanye nenani elincane le-CO eyinsalela.
Yonke le nqubo iyinqubo ye-endothermic. Ukushisa okudingekayo kokusabela kunikezwa ngokujikeleza kwamafutha okuqhuba ukushisa.
Ukonga amandla okushisa, igesi eyingxube ekhiqizwe kureactor yenza ukushintshaniswa kokushisa noketshezi oluhlanganisiwe, bese iyajiya, bese igezwa embhoshongweni wokuhlanza. Uketshezi oluxubile olusuka ku-condensation kanye nenqubo yokugeza luhlukaniswa embhoshongweni wokuhlanza. Ukwakheka kwalolu ketshezi oluxubile ikakhulukazi amanzi ne-methanol. Ibuyiselwa ethangini lempahla eluhlaza ukuze igaywe kabusha. Igesi yokuqhekeka efanelekayo ibe isithunyelwa ophikweni lwe-PSA.
