H2SITE - High-Purity Hydrogen Separation Membrane Technology
H2SITE has developed a unique membrane technology for efficient separation of high-purity hydrogen from various streams. Engineered after a decade of research and development, these membranes exhibit exceptional hydrogen permeation, coupled with high durability and resistance to contaminants. These features optimize their performance in renewable hydrogen production and separation processes, particularly for carriers like ammonia and methanol. The membrane's palladium-alloy dense layer ensures exclusive selectivity to hydrogen, facilitating superior energy hydrogen extraction from mixtures with natural gas, CO, or CO₂. Unlike traditional methods requiring additional separation equipment, these integrated membrane reactors simultaneously perform reaction and separation, leveraging Le Châtelier’s principle to enhance compactness and efficiency. Built in advanced facilities in Bizkaia, Spain, the membranes are produced at scale, significantly lowering conversion costs with high output. This technology maximizes hydrogen recovery and reduces production costs by shifting equilibrium to achieve near-total conversion of feedstock.
H2SITE membranes for superior performance in renewable hydrogen reaction and separation processes, enabling the efficient handling of key hydrogen carriers such as ammonia or methanol. These membranes also facilitate the extraction of energy hydrogen from mixtures with natural gas, CO, or CO₂ in geological formations or natural gas infrastructure.
The essence for hydrogen production of these membranes lies in their palladium-alloy dense layer, which is exclusively selective to hydrogen. The culmination of ten years of research and development about hydrogen production has yielded membranes with exceptional permeation qualities, enhanced durability, and robust resistance to contaminants. These attributes enable the membranes’ integration into a wide array of green hydrogen conversion process, ensuring a significant hydrogen output over their lifespan.
Produced in H2SITE’s advanced facilities located in Bizkaia, Northern Spain, these membranes are fabricated at scale. The membrane assembly line is designed to deliver thousands of units annually, which are instrumental in processing thousands of tons of renewable hydrogen, all achieved with very low conversion costs.
