Power+Energy appoints director of Global Sales 

Power+Energy Inc of Ivyland, PA, USA, which provides palladium-membrane-based hydrogen purifiers for the compound semiconductor and energy industries, has appointed Stuart Bestrom as director of Global Sales, responsible for direct sales and management of the worldwide distributor network to promote P+E purifiers.

“Stuart joins Power+Energy with extensive experience in hydrogen purification technologies including palladium, regenerable catalytic and getter used in semiconductor and related markets,” says VP sales & marketing Al Stubbmann. “His knowledge of the industry and technology will be a valuable resource as P+E gains growing acceptance of its revolutionary, quality-driven technology to provide high-flow, reduced-cost hydrogen purification systems to support large LED fabs requiring parts-per-billion gas purity,” he adds.

Most recently, Bestrom was sales manager at Johnson Matthey, where he managed sales & marketing. “P+E’s modernization of the traditional palladium purifier, with research funded by the US Department of Energy, provides a durable, high-flow capability in a compact design that will serve the increasing needs of the semiconductor and energy industry,” he comments.

*Power & Energy is exhibiting at the International Conference on Silicon Carbide and Related Materials (ICSCRM 2011) in Cleveland, OH, USA next week (11–16 September). P+E says that its micro-channel purifiers are widely used for SiC processes because they eliminate trace nitrogen, a dopant that must be tightly controlled for effective device fabrication.
