Problem
Many industrial processes, such as those in refineries and petrochemical plants, require efficient and cost-effective hydrogen purification, especially when hydrogen is mixed with contaminants like CO2, acidic gases, and heavy hydrocarbons. Traditional hydrogen separation methods can be energy-intensive, require significant maintenance, and may not perform well in harsh chemical environments.
Solution
DiviGas develops advanced hydrogen separation membranes designed for high efficiency and resilience in demanding industrial settings. These membranes leverage polymer nanotechnology to selectively separate hydrogen from gas mixtures containing CO2, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and other hydrocarbons, even at high temperatures. By simplifying gas separation processes, DiviGas's technology reduces energy consumption, lowers operational overhead, and minimizes maintenance requirements compared to conventional catalyst-driven methods. The membranes facilitate the recovery and purification of hydrogen in various applications, including refineries, petrochemical plants, syngas separation, and ammonia production.
Target Audience
The primary customers are refineries, petrochemical plants, and other industrial facilities that require efficient and reliable hydrogen purification and recovery solutions.
