HYDRALYSIS
Green Hydrogen from Waste

The chemistry behind reacting aluminium with water to produce hydrogen is known. The challenges arise from preparing and purifying feedstock, maintaining the reactions which tend to be self-limiting because of the oxide layer that forms on reacted metal. At the same time it is imperative that gas evolution is controlled and the exotherm managed to prevent runaway reactions and ensure process safety.

Using our extensive real world knowledge of aluminium wastes and their gas evolution characteristics we have developed and optimised a process to overcome this ensuring safe, efficient operations. 

Our experienced team of mechanical engineers and chemical engineers have scaled and built plants to process aluminium wastes and control and manage the off gasses. We understand the practical challenges around handling and preparing scrap metals, selecting and deploying the right process equipment and controls. Our chemical engineers have vast experience in handling and using the necessary chemicals, designing and operating the required chemical processing plant efficiently and safely.

Having operated in the aluminium waste sector for more than 10 years we have accumulated deep knowledge of the sector and have relationships with operators across the chain of custody for scrap aluminium, process equipment supply and customers for off take of the process outputs.
