La Motte Fanjas, 23 April 2018, 5:45 p.m. – McPhy (Euronext Paris Compartment C: MCPHY, FR0011742329) 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.
By bringing to market the only alkaline electrolyzers offering this level of performance, McPhy is taking the technological lead in its sector, with an increasingly efficient and competitive product range."
Pascal Mauberger, McPhy's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, made the following comments: "McPhy is strongly committed to providing companies in the energy, transport and industry sectors with the leading-edge technology they need to leave fossil fuels behind. We are delighted to announce a major technological advance and the launch of our "Augmented McLyzer" range, that enable us to support our clients as they build up scale: producing hydrogen on a large scale and at a competitive price, thereby helping to meet the challenge of transitioning to a low-carbon economy. By bringing to market the only alkaline electrolyzers offering this level of performance, McPhy is taking the technological lead in its sector, with an increasingly efficient and competitive product range."
25 modules of 4 MW Same architecture concept
than the 20 MW cluster A total footprint below 4 500 m2
20 000 Nm3 /h of hydrogen, more than 42 tons per day
30 bar: high pressure production Fast dynamic response time High energy efficiency
"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 (see below) – 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.
20 MW Cluster: high pressure production (30 bar), hydrogen production: 4 000 Nm3/h, compact footprint < 900 m2
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.
