The Ultimate Purifier: How SKYRE’s H2RENEW Removes Contaminants from Hydrogen
Hydrogen is poised to become the clean energy source of the future, but achieving the highest purity levels is crucial for its efficient use in industries such as semiconductors, fuel cells, and energy storage. Even the smallest impurities can hinder performance, reduce equipment lifespan, and increase operational costs.
SKYRE’s revolutionary H2RENEW hydrogen recycling and purification technology ensures that hydrogen is free from contaminants, making it a truly clean and recyclable energy source.
The Hidden Problem of Hydrogen Contaminants
Raw hydrogen, whether sourced from electrolysis, steam methane reforming (SMR), or even natural geologic deposits, often contains impurities that must be removed to meet industry standards. These contaminants include gases, moisture, and particulates, which can interfere with processes that require ultra-high-purity hydrogen.
What Can the H2RENEW Extract from Hydrogen?
SKYRE’s H2RENEW is designed to effectively remove a wide range of impurities, including:
1. Oxygen (O₂)
Even trace amounts of oxygen can impact hydrogen storage and fuel cell efficiency.
H2RENEW efficiently separates oxygen to maintain purity.
2. Nitrogen (N₂)
Common in hydrogen streams from air exposure or certain production methods.
Removal is essential for high-purity hydrogen applications like semiconductors.
3. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
Present in hydrogen from fossil fuel-based production methods.
4. Water Vapor (H₂O)
Moisture can lead to equipment corrosion and inefficiencies.
H2RENEW ensures a dry, high-purity hydrogen output.
5. Hydrocarbons (CH₄, C₂H₆, etc.)
Methane and other hydrocarbons are often found in hydrogen extracted from natural gas.
Purification is necessary for applications that demand ultra-pure hydrogen.
7. Ammonia (NH₃)
Can be present in hydrogen from certain production methods.
Must be removed for industries requiring ultra-pure hydrogen.
8. Helium (He)
Often found in geologic hydrogen deposits.
H2RENEW can separate helium from hydrogen streams, allowing for the recovery of this valuable noble gas.
Recycling your process hydrogen isn’t just good business, it’s smart business.
By eliminating these contaminants, the H2RENEW plays a critical role in ensuring hydrogen’s viability as a sustainable and economical energy solution. SKYRE’s technology not only purifies hydrogen but also enables efficient recycling, reducing waste and significantly cutting costs for end users. Since industrial hydrogen is often one of the largest capital expenses for companies, the H2RENEW provides a powerful way to maximize value while maintaining the highest purity standards.
With the H2RENEW, industries can now access a cost-effective, recyclable, and contaminant-free hydrogen source—one that meets the highest purity standards while driving significant cost savings.
