H2SITE has designed and built the most efficient catalyst using membrane reactor technology to produce 200 kg per day of high-quality hydrogen for transportation purposes.
Birmingham, United Kingdom, June 12, 2024–(Business wire)– H2SITE has designed and built the most efficient ammonia catalyst using membrane reactor technology to produce fuel cell-grade hydrogen for the Ammogen project, located at Tyseley Energy Park (TEP). This innovative project will use ammonia to store hydrogen and convert it into hydrogen in one step. Ammonia has become the preferred medium worldwide for transporting hydrogen.
The system designed and assembled by H2SITE will produce 200 kg of environmental hydrogen per day. The produced hydrogen will be ready for mobility applications in the Birmingham area.
H2SITE’s ammonia catalysis and separation technology consists of incorporating H2-selective membranes immersed in a catalytic bed where the ammonia in its products is broken down. Since the reaction produces hydrogen, the technology separates the hydrogen on-site across these membranes, eliminating the need for downstream separation units. Selective hydrogen separation in H2SITE membrane reactors results in almost complete ammonia conversions at moderate temperatures, with hydrogen recovery greater than 98%, always meeting fuel cell quality standards.
“This project is a step forward for us, as it validates the membrane reactor technology for ammonia catalysis. We plan to expand it to process tons per day over the next two years and use it in import centers and marine applications. announced Jose Medrano, Technical Director of H2SITE.
In collaboration with partners such as Tyseley Energy Park (TEP), the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Gemserv (Talan), EQUANS, Yara International and the University of Birmingham, the Ammogen project aims to boost international hydrogen trade.
About H2SITE H2SITE was established in 2020 and has exclusive reactor and separator technology to convert various raw materials into hydrogen, including ammonia, methanol or syngas, as well as to separate hydrogen from gas mixtures at low concentration for applications in salt caverns or geohydrogen.
