One of a kind
Industry advancing syngas catalyst.
Redefining syngas reforming: flexible, non-coking, and CO2 reactive from the core.
The New Syngas Standard
High-efficiency syngas catalysts for CO2 utilization and reforming optimization.
HYCO1 is the new technology standard in syngas production catalysts, reformer islands, and CO2 utilization. HYCO1's technology can bring your existing production facility or developing project to the next level.
HYCO1’s revolutionary catalyst is a true dry methane reforming catalyst that converts CO2 at the same rate of methane. The breakthrough is the catalyst metal structure that allows for a non-coking, pre-sintered catalyst that has improved reaction kinetics, operational robustness, and, for the first time ever, a catalyst that allows syngas composition flexibility with tailored feedstock flows.
HYCO1's CUBE™ Technology allows for an immediate actionable benefit to existing syngas production units but also allows for strategic additional lowering of cost through decarbonization strategies. For the first time in history, decarbonization includes the reduction of cost through utilization of carbon dioxide as a feedstock with the same carbon conversion efficiency as natural gas. The technology user can upgrade their facility in stages, increasing efficiency and profitability with each one, or jump right to the most efficient third step utilizing CO2 emissions as a feedstock!
