Saint-Gobain Spain installs hydrogen systems

Published 5th July, 2017 by Greg Morris

Dutch company Hygear, a specialist in on-site gas generation technologies, has fulfilled the delivery and installation of its Hy.Gen systems at Saint-Gobain flat glass manufacturer.

Two Hy.GEN 50 systems were installed at Saint-Gobain’s L’Arboc, Spain facility. The contract for the hydrogen supply was signed in August last year.

The Hy.GEN is an on-site gas generation system that produces hydrogen by converting natural gas with steam methane reforming which offers a reliable and cost-effective alternative to conventional supply methods.

The contract also consists of additional storage banks for backup supply and peak consumption periods.
