HyGear

General information

Cost-effective gas supply

HyGear supplies industrial hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gas in small bulk quantities. By combining advanced on-site generation technologies with conventional gas distribution methods, we offer cost-effective and reliable gas supply.

Hydrogen supply
HyGear supplies cost-effective hydrogen by installing its on-site Hy.GEN technology. The system generates hydrogen from natural gas by using HyGear’s proprietary Steam Methane Reforming technology. Decentralized hydrogen production by HyGear offers a safer, more reliable and cost attractive alternative to conventional hydrogen supply by tube trailers or electrolysers, and significantly lowers the environmental impact. This results in optimised reliability of supply at lower costs.

Nitrogen & Oxygen supply
HyGear also supplies nitrogen and oxygen by on-site PSA-technology, the N.GEN and O.GEN. These highly efficient on-site generators are based on HyGear’s extensive experience in PSA gas separation technology and gas processing systems.

Gas Recycling
To further reduce costs, our Hy.REC gas recycling technology can be installed to recover the spent gases from the process. The Hy.REC is able to recycle gas mixtures as well as pure hydrogen. The opportunities lie in the reduction of the operational costs of utilities (hydrogen and nitrogen) and therefore fit well with the industry’s aim of energy and cost savings.
