Hy9 Corporation, a manufacturer of metal membrane hydrogen purifiers and reformer products for industrial, specialty gas and energy markets, has secured a $2.3 million round of funding. The funding will enable Hy9 to expand its line of hydrogen purifiers into the ultra-high purity (UHP), high purity and fuel cell markets, and reformers for the portable fuel cell market.
Hy9 Corporation manufactures globally-deployed, high-productivity, low-cost membranes and products with leak-tight seals that extract pure hydrogen from gas mixtures much like a filter. Hy9’s membrane-based hydrogen reformers successfully integrate catalysts in a process intensification to create an economic, durable, one-step process for fuel reforming. As a result, Hy9’s products provide enabling solutions for hydrogen purification, generation and recycling.
Over the last five years, Hy9 Corporation has manufactured and sold over 600 high-purity hydrogen purifiers with over 3 million cumulative hours of global field use. The recent funding will enable Hy9’s seasoned business and technical teams to broaden its line of hydrogen purifiers into the ultra-high purity (UHP), high purity and fuel cell markets.
“With our recent round of financing, Hy9 is well-positioned to leverage our proprietary technologies and global commercial success to provide compelling economic hydrogen purification and reforming solutions for the industrial, specialty gas and energy markets,” said Jeffrey T. Altman, President and CEO, Hy9 Corporation.
