QuestAir to supply H-3200 hydrogen purifier to
Korean hydrogen station
BURNABY, B.C. – QuestAir Technologies Inc. (AIM: QAR; TSX: QAR) announced today that it has received an order from Hydrogenics Corporation for a H-3200 hydrogen purifier to be installed at a hydrogen fuelling station at the Korea Gas research and development facility in Incheon, South Korea.
The KOGAS-tech (Korean Gas Technology Corporation) station will generate hydrogen fuel from natural gas. The station will be capable of producing sufficient hydrogen to refuel approximately 20 fuel cell powered vehicles.
QuestAir’s H-3200 will purify hydrogen produced from natural gas, and will be integrated into a hydrogen generation and compression package supplied by Hydrogenics Corporation. This sale brings to 10 the number of units that QuestAir has placed in hydrogen refueling station applications.
Jonathan Wilkinson, President and CEO of QuestAir said that this hydrogen station is the first in Asia outside of Japan to use QuestAir’s PSA technology. “We are extremely pleased that QuestAir’s H-3200 hydrogen purifier is to be included in this station, the first of its kind in Korea” Wilkinson said.
QuestAir’s H-3200 purifies gas streams containing hydrogen to high-purity hydrogen for use in industrial processes, hydrogen fueling stations and stationary fuel cell power plants. The H-3200’s optimized Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process and proprietary rotary valve technology deliver higher efficiency than conventional PSA systems in a more compact, cost-effective package. Since the product launch in 2003, QuestAir has sold more than 30 H-3200 systems to customers in Europe, Japan and North America.
