Blending Unit & HyCON
A blending unit for hydrogen and natural gas is an advanced system designed to blend hydrogen with natural gas in a strictly controlled process. This technology plays a crucial role in the energy bridge towards a more sustainable future, allowing the use of existing natural gas infrastructure for the distribution of a cleaner fuel that reduces environmental impact. Here is a detailed overview of a typical blending unit:
Operating Principle
The blending unit uses advanced control processes to mix in precise proportions hydrogen, a gas with zero carbon emissions, with natural gas, a fossil fuel. The objective is to reduce the overall CO2 emissions of gas distributed through the natural gas grid, while taking advantage of existing infrastructure for efficient transport.
Key components of HyCON
It generates hydrogen from water using electricity, preferably from renewable sources. The ability to integrate electrolysers from different suppliers offers flexibility in the production process.
They store the produced hydrogen and natural gas before mixing. These systems can vary depending on the technology used, adapting to the specific storage needs and capacity required.
The heart of HyCON, where hydrogen and natural gas are mixed in the desired proportions. The unique Regas design of these mixers ensures homogeneous and efficient mixing.
They provide real-time management and monitoring of the blending unit, allowing continuous performance optimization and flexible adaptation to various levels of production and energy demand.
Advances functionalities
The ability to automatically use excess solar energy for electrolysis ensures an efficient and sustainable energy approach.
Adaptable to meet power-to-gas requirements for plants of any size, the blending unit can serve a wide range of customers, from small communities to large industrial networks.
The blending unit is also a research and development tool, allowing testing of new solutions and technologies to continuously improve the efficiency and sustainability of the mixing process.
