Dr. Daniel Albrecht Hydrogen Laboratory
The Dr. Daniel Albrecht Hydrogen Laboratory specializes in experimental work with flammable gases such as hydrogen, methane, and various gas mixtures. Thanks to its extensive safety equipment, the state-of-the-art laboratory infrastructure also allows for experiments involving larger volumes of gas under high-pressure conditions.
Safety devices
The laboratory is designed for the safe handling of flammable gases under high-pressure conditions. It is equipped with comprehensive safety measures, such as:
- Explosion-proof work areas (Ex Zone II)
- Continuous gas monitoring and ventilated gas storage cabinets
- Special bench fume hoods for high-pressure experiments
- Decoupled injection systems and intrinsically safe measurement circuits
Research Focus Areas
The focus is on gas mixing processes and microbiological processes in the context of underground hydrogen storage. The most important experimental setups include:
- A core flooding facility suitable for hydrogen
- An experimental setup for gas-gas diffusion in rock samples
- An experimental setup for gas-water diffusion in rock samples
- A slimtube setup for investigating the mechanical dispersion of gases
- A microfluidics system for observing microbial processes under hydrogen-rich conditions
