July 10, 2022. Hydron Energy Inc., the cleaner fuel company that is commercializing a revolutionary gas upgrading solution, has received one of the first funding awards granted from newly established B.C. Centre for Innovation and Clean Energy (CICE). Hydron is building a first-of-a-kind gas upgrader, the INTRUPTor™ I-Multi, to produce renewable natural gas (RNG) from biogas.
The funding from CICE will help Hydron complete both phases of the field-testing program of its mobile pilot and establish the INTRUPTor I-Multi Mobile RNG Solution Centre. After its field testing programs are completed, the INTRUPTor I-Multi Mobile RNG Solution Centre will travel to key sites and demonstrate how the INTRUPTor system, and biogas upgrading, works in a real-world context.
The INTRUPTor™, an acronym for Intensified Regenerative Upgrading Platform Technology, operates in ambient conditions and therefore does not require any feed compressors, vacuum pumps, feed gas drying units, or exhaust gas post-treatment systems to produce pipeline-quality RNG. As a result, the INTRUPTor reduces the capital and operating costs by up to 50% and delivers an industry-leading carbon intensity score.
