Xebec Adsorption has signed a contract with Belgium-based Desmet Ballestra to deliver the company’s first Hy.GEN-e on-site electrolyser unit for a food application.
One of Desmet Bellestra’s major customers in North Africa will use the electrolyser system, which produces 100 Nm3/h of hydrogen, for a hydrogenation process.
The company is leveraging its industrial expertise and supply to enable local production of sufficient amounts of hydrogen in order to meet the anticipated demand from fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs).
Excess hydrogen quantities of high purity hydrogen can be used to fill emerging demand from FCEVs, so the installation will not only contribute to local industrial hydrogen supply. This strategy, according to the company, can help with the cost-effective deployment of hydrogen refueling infrastructure.
