2 ON-SITE HYDROGEN ROGEN GENERATION SYSTEMS Hydrogen can be produced on-site, by converting natural gas by Steam Methane Reforming (SMR). Decentralized hydrogen production offers a safer, more reliable and cost attractive alternative to conventional extensive hydrogen delivery infrastructures. HyGear offers a range of on-site Hydrogen Generation Systems, highly suitable to be installed at industrial sites. The systems can meet the customers specifi c operational requirements, for instance tailored to the glass, metal, electronics, chemicals or food industry. Hereby we proudly present to you our Hydrogen Generation Systems. 2 3

3 HIGHLY EFFICIENT REFORMING TECHNOLOGY HyGear s Hydrogen Generation Systems (HGS) use reforming of natural gas to produce hydrogen, using our proprietary reforming technology combined with highly effi cient Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). Process In the inlet section, the incoming natural gas is stripped from sulfur to avoid catalyst deactivation and ensure long lifetime and high system effi ciency. Subsequently, steam (H 2 O) produced from waste heat is added to the desulfurized gas and led into the reformer (HyGear s proprietary technology). The heat and catalytic properties of the reformer causes the following chemical reaction: CH 4 + H 2 O 3H 2 + CO The remaining carbon monoxide is then converted in the Water Gas Shift reactor (WGS) to produce more hydrogen: CO + H 2 O CO 2 + H 2 Next, the gases are proceeded into the Pressure Swing Adsorber (PSA). The PSA consists of four parallel active vessels, enabling a continuous cleaning process. In the PSA, the hydrogen is separated from other gaseous species under elevated pressure by using differences in adsorption properties. The hydrogen is proceeded to the hydrogen storage and can be used as industrial gas or energy source. The remaining gaseous species are stored and subsequently used to generate the heat for the reforming reaction and steam generation. 4 5

6 KEY BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES ABOUT HYGEAR Key benefits - Cost reduction up to 70%* - Security of supply - Safer alternative to H 2 -storage on-site - Signifi cant reduction of PM 10 -, NO X -, SO X - and CO 2 -emissions - Cascading, purifi cation and compression possible - Low pressure inlet and demand following operation possible - CE approved / ASME U(V)-Stamp (combined with IEC standards) - Remote connectivity - Quick startup time * Cost reduction depends on current supply agreements, hydrogen rates, input properties and operational characteristics. On-site hydrogen; a cost attractive alternative HyGear s Hydrogen Generation Systems offer a cost attractive alternative to current hydrogen supply through tube trailers, liquid hydrogen or pipelines. On-site hydrogen production is a more reliable alternative to conventional hydrogen provision overcoming the dependence on third parties and the necessity to store hydrogen on-site. Also, the systems signifi cantly lower the environmental impact. Transportation of HyGear s HGS is easy due to the product s container based design. The quantity and quality of the produced hydrogen is customer-specifi c making it suitable for various industries like glass, steel, electronics, oil & fat, chemicals or fueling stations. HyGear is a clean technology company with expertise in smallscale Gas Purifi cation, Gas Generation and Gas Recovery Systems.
