H-TEC SYSTEMS modular hydrogen electrolyzer for large-scale green hydrogen projects of 10 MW upwards

Green Car Congress

Each 10 MW block is equipped with integrated process water treatment and an electric power supply. In addition, the system can be supplemented with fresh water and hydrogen treatment equipment as well as process heat recovery or oxygen utilization as and when required. It is here that the MHP offers a unique redundancy concept.

Dürr Ecoclean water jetting system enables up to 80% reduction in water jet pressure for engine cylinder bore activation

Green Car Congress

High-pressure water jetting at pressures of up to 3000 bar (45,500 psi) is becoming increasingly widespread as a method of activating the cylinder bore surfaces of engine blocks prior to thermal coating. High-pressure water jetting as employed in today’s activation processes uses pressures of at least 2500 bar.
