H-TEC SYSTEMS sells a PEM electrolyzer type HCS to Wenger Hydrogen, continuing a successful cooperation in the past.
Wenger Hydrogen is the general contractor for the project, which will be realized in Switzerland. The plant is scheduled to be commissioned at the end of next year.
The Hydrogen Cube system is suitable for multi-megawatt PEM electrolysis plants and allows for gradual expansion and scaling up to ten megawatts and more. In Wenger Hydrogen’s project, the H-TEC SYSTEMS plant with two megawatts of electrical power converts renewable energy from hydropower into green hydrogen. In the future, up to 900 kilograms of green hydrogen will be produced per day, which will then be used as an emission-free energy carrier for fuel cell vehicles.
Green hydrogen production on a multi-megawatt scale
Just this spring, H-TEC SYSTEMS introduced its Hydrogen Cube system to a wide audience, which is essentially based on the well-known and industrially used technology of the ME450 PEM electrolyzer.
The design includes a drying system to ensure that the hydrogen is processed to a hydrogen quality of 5.0. Without this optional drying system, the quality is 3.0, which is suitable for many industrial processes. After drying, the hydrogen can be used directly in fuel cells. In addition, the system is supplemented by fresh water treatment and heat extraction. The heat is then fed into the heating network, providing an additional source of revenue during operation. By utilizing the process heat, the very high system efficiency of 74% can be significantly increased once again. These modules are optional and were ordered for the corresponding project. The low-voltage transformer suitable for the HCS system is also supplied by the hydrogen company H-TEC SYSTEMS.
H-TEC SYSTEMS and Wenger Hydrogen continue trustful cooperation
After two projects that Wenger Hydrogen is currently implementing with H-TEC SYSTEMS equipment, Dr. David Wenger, Managing Director of Wenger Hydrogen GmbH, is pleased to continue the trusting partnership: “The strong commitment of the entire H-TEC to the project was decisive for us. We are not only convinced by the plant technology, but also by the service portfolio, which is important for the support of the plant in the future. The overall concept showed us that we had found a very good partner for our project in H-TEC SYSTEMS. Although it is the first plant of this kind, we are very positive about the future and are looking forward to start this challenging and at the same time very nice project together.”
“We are very pleased to take this important step of H-TEC SYSTEMS with a partner like Wenger Hydrogen,” also states Frank Zimmermann, CFO of H-TEC SYSTEMS GmbH. “Through the already successful cooperation in current projects, a relationship of trust has been established. The entire H-TEC SYSTEMS is looking forward to a successful project implementation as well as the subsequent support of the plant through our services.”
Expansion of hydrogen production in Switzerland
With this project, H-TEC SYSTEMS is further advancing hydrogen production in Switzerland. Alexander Detke, Sales Manager at H-TEC SYSTEMS GmbH, is pleased to realize another project in Switzerland together with Wenger Hydrogen GmbH: “After several very intensive, technical and commercial preliminary discussions as well as personal meetings, also with the end customer, it quickly became clear that we are the right partners for this project. For us, this is an important step for another lighthouse project in Switzerland.”
