HYS ENERGY LTD develops a new electrochemical process for utilization of sulfur-containing acid gases, involuntary harmful by-products of different industries. Their treatment represents a significant industrial concern. The process provides a more cost-effective and safe way for their utilization, compared to traditional technologies.
Waste-to-energy approach: utilization of these by-products is combined with hydrogen production or electricity generation.
The feed/electrolyte solution comprising a sulfur-containing acid gas and an absorbent is introduced into an electrochemical cell, where hydrogen is electrochemically produced (e.g. by reduction of H2S or water) and the sulfur is oxidized.
The Company’s technological solution represents an electrochemical plant for the treatment of sulfur-containing acid gases supplied in the solution with an organic absorbent. The Electrochemical Cell Module is the centerpiece of the plant and is comprised of multiple electrochemical cells operating in parallel.
Advantages:
– Substantial CAPEX & OPEX reduction.
– More efficient hydrogen production than water electrolysis.
– Hydrogen is a valuable energy carrier, reagent & feedstock.
– Safety operation – avoidance of dangerous burning of toxic gases.
