Aramco Overseas Company B.V. has contracted with HyGear, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xebec Adsorption, to conduct a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) study for packaged hydrogen generators based on membrane reformer technology.
It will be possible to use HyGear’s expertise in decentralized hydrogen production to design a system that can convert liquid feedstocks into low carbon hydrogen and high purity carbon dioxide (CO2) that can be captured and used as process gas.
One of HyGear’s primary objectives in this project is to evaluate the potential for a larger-scale deployment of a demonstration unit for Aramco.
