A gas recovery system from The Netherlands-based company HyGear, is currently being tested at a Saint-Gobain Glass facility in Herzogenrath, Germany, for reliability and performance.
The Hy.REC® system has been designed to recover used hydrogen-nitrogen (H2-N2) gas mixtures so it can be reused in the glass production process.
The gas recovery system has been developed to recover the gas mixtures from the tin bath in float glass production and metal industries. It feeds the polluted, unutilised gas mixture emitted from industrial processes, back through the system and recovers a significant fraction of the H2 and N2 to be reused as a new reductive gas mixture.
The HyREC®mix has been designed to consume the lowest possible amount of electricity to enable the highest possible economical rate of return. Essential to this post-treatment module is the advanced temperature swing adsorption (TSA) with ultralow pressure drop, which seeks to further reduce operational expenses.
