London, 23/04/2018 (informazione.news - comunicati stampa - energia)

specialist in equipment for the production, storage and distribution of hydrogen, is presenting today at the Hanover tradeshow its new generation of high-energy efficiency electrolyzers. This equipment is integrated into large-scale platforms (4, 20, 100 MW and more), designed to produce low-carbon hydrogen in the large quantity needed in the industry and heavy transport sectors.

Pascal Mauberger, McPhy's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, made the following comments:

 "Augmented McLyzer" is a genuine technological breakthrough based on a modular architecture allowing capacities of 4, 20, 100 MW and more, thereby enabling McPhy to support its clients as they build up scale.

The electrolyzers feature the latest developments in electrolysis technology. The unique combination between De Nora's advanced electrodes and McPhy's high pressure (30-bar) electrolysis technology allows to double the amount of hydrogen produced by the electrolysis cells, with a significant increase of energy efficiency. Density has been more than doubled, so that 20 MW of capacity - i.e. more than 8.5 tons of clean hydrogen per day - can be installed in less than 900 m², from high-voltage power to pure hydrogen delivery.

The new multi MW architecture presented today integrates these augmented electrolysis cells, with the same stack size, meeting the needs of industrialists that want to produce hydrogen on a large-scale using electricity, at a competitive cost compared with polluting technologies.

McPhy electrolyzers are designed to be used in automatic mode and to require little maintenance. They are also known for their very fast response time and their durability.

McPhy is now starting large-scale production of these high-density stacks for the growing needs of the energy, industry and transport sectors.

More and more, major industrial companies from chemical, refinery, steel or other industrial sectors, are engaged in developing clean manufacturing to contribute to a new low-carbon industry era.
Water electrolysis is a competitive and attractive strategic technology to reconcile productivity, competitiveness and social responsibility.

Leading industrial companies have already selected the innovative multi MW electrolyzer platform developed by McPhy. This platform enables them to deliver hydrogen at 30 bar, with high energy efficiency, and can contribute to grid services.
