A unique approach to gas cleaning for energy transition

Company:Monolith
Industry: Clean Hydrogen
Application: Clean Hydrogen and material productions

Problem statement

A USA-based innovator in “clean hydrogen” production, Monolith was faced with a challenging gas cleaning and material recovery problem, as part of the process needed stringent requirements for filtration efficiency when capturing valuable carbon particulate.

Nederman MikroPul solution

Our team has delivered a unique innovation in the field of industrial filtration. Using a mix of deep applications experience and leading-edge technology, we have designed, fabricated and delivered a reverse-air cleaned filter where the cleaning gas is the recycled green hydrogen from the filter. The carbon dust is collected with about 99.9% efficiency by custom-designed filtration bags. There are implicit savings in energy use due to reverse air cleaning at low pressures, eliminating the need for compressed inert gas. The result is an efficient and safe solution that will serve its core application for many years. The MikroPul solution complements the Clean Hydrogen process by offering a highly sustainable filtration system.
