Metacon offers hydrogen generators (HHG systems) suitable for both small and large plants, tailored for traditional biogas producers, wastewater treatment plants, and marine applications. Our generators have a production capacity of 50 to 250 cubic meters of hydrogen per hour, using proprietary technology to achieve purity levels between 99.9 and 99.999 percent, customizable to your needs. Our hydrogen generators are designed to work with various fuels such as natural gas, LPG, biogas, and ammonia. They offer reliable, quiet, and efficient hydrogen production.
Natural gas can be sourced from the existing network, while biogas can be extracted from biogas plants, wastewater treatment plants, landfills, or organic industrial and household waste. Hydrogen derived from biogas or upgraded biogas (bio-methane) is sustainable as its production relies on renewable fuels. Ammonia, a widely available carbon-free fuel, can also be used to produce green hydrogen efficiently from renewable ammonia.
Reforming
Natural gas, methane, liquefied petroleum gas, propane, biogas and ammonia
50-250 Nm3/h hydrogen production
High-purity hydrogen production, suitable for automotive refueling stations, hydration plants, glass and electronics industries, and PEM fuel cells, among others
Our hydrogen generator is innovative and compact – 40 times smaller than traditional reforming designs, making it significantly smaller than traditional reforming plants and easier to integrate into different environments.
Our hydrogen generator offers increased security and safety by eliminating the need for open flames.
With low operating temperatures, material costs are reduced and enable near-total elimination of emissions such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and sulphur oxide.
With our patented HIWAR reactor design, our hydrogen generator can achieve up to 8 percent higher efficiency than conventional technology.
In our proprietary and patented reforming process, hydrogen is produced through a technology that uses unique catalytic surfaces in a high-efficiency reactor. By blending the fuel with steam and using an advanced reactor, we can initiate a chemical process where the fuel is converted into hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. This conversion occurs by supplying heat to the steam/fuel mixture through via catalytic oxidation. Each reaction takes place on thin layers of catalysts, enabling very high efficiency. Later in the process, the amount of carbon monoxide can be reduced, and as an option, carbon dioxide can be captured and stored by coupling our system with a carbon capture and storage (CCS) system to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
