Technology company The Linde Group has successfully launched its new
HYDROPRIME(R) plant line of innovative, cost effective hydrogen
generators which are based on proven steam methane reforming technology.
Hydro-Chem, a division of Linde Engineering North America, announced
today that it has tested and proven the reliability and suitability of
these units in various applications. The company is now launching the
mass production release of HYDROPRIME(R) as a competitive and reliable
local production alternative to trucked-in bulk gases.
"Linde developed HYDROPRIME(R) to address the market place requirement
for efficient, easy-to-install, compact plants by taking advantage of
Hydro-Chem's extensive experience in modular hydrogen plant design and
fabrication," according to Raju Natarajan, President, Hydro-Chem.
HYDROPRIME(R) plants offer many advantages over traditional supply modes
such as truck-delivered liquid hydrogen, electrolytic plants, and
conventional steam methane reforming plants. These plants have a
capacity of 0.15 - 0.9 MMSCFD (165 - 1,000 Nm3/h) and produce ultra-high
purity hydrogen (99.999+ %) at 200 psi (13.8 bar), reducing the need for
product compression in most uses. The new product line has a very high
natural gas conversion rate and is highly heat integrated, which
translates into low operating cost.
HYDROPRIME(R) plants are ideally suited for customers who expect high
reliability and superior environmental and safety performance. The
plants are fully automatic with fail-safe controls, allowing unattended
operation, remote start-up, operation, and monitoring. In addition, they
feature a modular open skid design and a small footprint. This
facilitates easy installation while providing good access for routine
maintenance.
Recognizing the diverse needs of a global market place, Linde offers
HYDROPRIME(R) as a build-own-operate solution to simplify ownership and
maintenance for the end user and eliminate customer-owned capital
investment. Alternatively, HYDROPRIME(R) plants can be owned and
operated by the end user with various support models by Linde, if
desired. With HYDROPRIME(R), Linde is able to offer even more flexible
solutions for hydrogen supply to an extensive range of industries,
including glass, chemicals, foods, metals, electronics, photovoltaics,
and energy.
