Hydrogenics Corporation (TSX:HYG; NASDAQ:HYGS), has delivered a HySTAT(TM) Hydrogen Plant to a North American nuclear plant.
The high-purity hydrogen generated is being used to prevent corrosion and extend the life of stainless steel tubes in the nuclear reactor as part of an upgrade for the purpose of renewing the plant’s operating permit. The hydrogen generator in this application consists of two HySTAT-A electrolyzer modules, each capable of producing 33Nm3/hr of hydrogen further demonstrating the scalability of Hydrogenics line of hydrogen generation products. The excess oxygen produced by the electrolysis process is also being used for the facility’s chemical processing.
“Everyone recognizes how important reliability and safety are when operating a nuclear power plant and by helping prevent corrosion, hydrogen plays a key role in this process,” said Pierre Rivard, Hydrogenics President and Chief Executive Officer. “Using our time-tested IMET alkaline electrolysis technology, Hydrogenics’ HySTAT-A hydrogen plant provides the highest level of quality and dependability, perfect for critical applications such as this.”
Hydrogenics Corporation has a portfolio of products in the hydrogen and fuel cell products. The company is based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, has operations in North America, Europe and Asia.
