Metacon - Model HHG Series -Industrial Hydrogen Generators for Small Scale Hydrogen Supply (20 – 200 Nm3/h H2)
Metacon S.A. offers a series of Industrial Hydrogen Generators designed to support the production of high-purity hydrogen. These generators are capable of producing between 20 to 200 Nm3/h of hydrogen, making them suited for applications such as automotive refueling stations, fat hydrogenation plants, and the glass and electronics industries. They utilize fuels like natural gas, methane, LPG, propane, and biogas, ensuring versatility in operational environments. The generators maintain high efficiency and output purity, ranging from 99.9% to 99.999%, which can be customized based on user needs. Key components include a natural gas compressor, purification unit, reforming and shift reactors, and a PSA unit, all managed by a control system with an HMI interface. Metacon`s design adheres to international standards, including EC directives, guaranteeing compliance and safety.
Fuels: NG, methane, LPG, propane, biogas
Capacity: 20-200 Nm3/h H2 production
Applications: High purity hydrogen production suitable for automobile refueling stations, fat hydrogenation plants, glass and electronics industry, PEM fuel cells.
The unit is composed of the following subsystems:
Subsystem 1: Natural gas compressor[1], natural gas purification unit, reforming reactor, shift reactor, steam generator, associated heat exchangers and peripherals.
Subsystem 2: Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit for gas purification.
Subsystem 3: Control hardware with HMI interface and control software.
