For
Fuel Cell Power, Combined Heat and Power, Transportation, and
Industrial Gas Applications
Hy9’s proprietary hydrogen purification products
provide high purity hydrogen on demand for fuel cell power, combined
heat and power, transportation and industrial gas applications.
Our core differentiation is our unique and field proven hydrogen
purification technology, refined over many years of development and
commercial deployment. Our cost effective membrane systems
separate pure hydrogen from a wide variety of gas mixtures,
providing a reliable solid barrier to any impurities. The attributes of Hy9’s industrial gas
purifiers include:
Purity – Hy9’s purifiers produce
hydrogen with purity of 99.9999+% or higher
Fuel Flexibility - Hy9’s
membrane purifiers tolerate a wide variety of feed
stocks and gas mixtures, having been successfully
deployed with systems utilizing methanol, natural gas,
diesel, liquefied petroleum gas, ammonia borane, and a
variety of hydrides.
Flux Capacity – Hy9’s purifiers meet
customer generation requirements from as little 300 cc’s
per minute up to hundreds of liters per minute,
depending on customers’ specific requirements
Modularity - Hy9 can increase output capacity by
simply adding more membranes in
utilizing a plate and frame technology (stacking). Therefore, in
comparison to legacy technologies that are physically constrained
from scaling down, Hy9 provides compelling economic and operational
products for portable applications (100W-1000W) to on-site
industrial generators (2000scfh).
Temperature – Hy9’s purifiers are
designed to operate optimally in the temperature range
from 300°C to 350°C
Pressure – Hy9’s purifiers operate with
inlet pressures from 50 psig to 250 psig depending
specific requirements
Durability – Hy9’s purifiers are
designed to operate over long periods of time without
any degradation in output or performance
Heating – Hy9’s purifiers include
integrated heating element to achieve and maintain
temperature requirements
The HPS purifiers reliable performance, compelling
capabilities and low cost has been proven in the field
over ten years with over 1,000 purifiers in continual
use at customers’ facilities, accumulating more than
approximately 3 million hours of field operation.
The economics of our systems are very compelling for our
customers, especially at smaller flow rates, due to the
design and approach to manufacturing. The membrane in
Hy9’s membrane purifiers is a planar palladium alloy
metal membrane that separates hydrogen from hydrogen
containing gas mixtures by permeation of hydrogen. Hy9’s
method for producing thin palladium alloy membranes has
improved the hydrogen productivity per unit of palladium
contained in such membranes by a factor of 50 or more
compared to the conventional palladium membranes.
Exploiting this method is essential for widespread
commercialization of economical purifiers and membrane
reactors.
Over the last ten years HPS purifiers have had a cumulative run time over 3 million
hours under thousands of cycles without requiring any
purging, and can even withstand
reverse pressurizations. We are now leveraging these
invaluable years of commercial experiences and a decade
of R&D to uniquely position Hy9 to provide enabling
solutions to industrial hydrogen users/suppliers and
fuel cell companies.

Custom Designs - Hy9 also offers larger
purifier systems for applications that
are designed to meet the requirements of larger
applications. For further product information, please
