Metacon S.A. (formely known as Helbio S.A) products

The GH₂ is a commercial prototype multi-fuel processor representing the culmination of Metacon S.A’s technology development to date. The processor has a nominal capacity of 10 Nm³/h of H₂. Although primarily designed for ethanol, it also operates with natural gas and LPG. When integrated with a PEM fuel cell, it will produce 10 kW electric energy and 17 kW thermal energy.

Natural gas is still the preferred raw material for hydrogen production. Biogas (mostly methane and CO₂) is now emerging as a renewable, low cost source of hydrogen.

Metacon S.A’s technology is based on proprietary and patented reactor catalyst configurations for reformation processes. The reactor configurations utilize the concept of the Heat Integrated Wall Reactor which offers very rapid heat exchange characteristics.

Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH) technologies are considered among the key innovations that the entire world will have to rely on in order to reach its target for a low carbon economy.
