Clean Power Hydrogen (CPH2) has completed the final site acceptance test of its MFE110 electrolyzer at Northern Ireland Water’s (NIW) wastewater treatment facility in Belfast, marking the first commercial-scale deployment of its membrane-free electrolyser (MFE) technology.
The 500 kW system demonstrated consistent production of high-purity hydrogen and oxygen in a commercial environment. The MFE110 unit’s performance was validated in the presence of engineering partners Lagan and Arup, concluding a sequence of three on-site tests.
NIW’s adoption of the electrolyser represents a strategic move toward decarbonising wastewater treatment, aligning with broader regional energy and sustainability goals.
The project also establishes a critical technological precedent for Northern Ireland, which has yet to see industrial-scale production of high-purity hydrogen and oxygen. With the test complete, CPH2 is now accelerating the development of its 1 MW MFE220 model, which is expected to further validate the scalability and commercial viability of membrane-free electrolysis in grid-connected settings.
Mutual Energy proposes constructing a 35-kilometre hydrogen pipeline to link planned offshore wind projects with Belfast’s existing energy infrastructure. The goal is to supply green hydrogen to decarbonize two major gas-fired power plants and service key transport infrastructure, including the ports of Larne and Belfast and Belfast City Airport.
