Building on the global launch in May 2010 of its PE9000MZ
series purifiers, Power+Energy Inc (P+E) of Ivyland, PA, USA, which makes palladium-membrane-based
hydrogen purifiers for the compound semiconductor and energy industries, has now finalized
specifications for a second-generation version, to be introduced in early 2012. The unit will
continue to offer what is claimed to be the smallest footprint for a Class 1, Div. 2-compliant
palladium alloy hydrogen purifier, along with a number of improvements to simplify installation,
service and user access.
Key new features for the PE9000MZ Series 2.0 include a
modified interior layout featuring a Z-purged control panel and AC power box mounted on the door to
allow access to the process cabinet without disrupting the purge on the electrical boxes. There is
a simplified valve layout providing easier access to the purifier cells and increased interior room
for optional features including pre-treatment modules for the removal of oxygen or sulfur
impurities, a mass flow meter, a pressure regulator and CDA ventilation. There is also a dedicated
port for sampling of the purified hydrogen and a port for testing the internal hydrogen leak sensor
without having to open the cabinet or disrupt operation.
The new series will continue to feature P+E’s
micro-channel palladium membrane technology, providing high-reliability, consistent 9-9’s purity
hydrogen for a flow range of 2-176NM3/hr (32-2900slpm or 68-6144scfh) under nominal conditions. The
firm claims that the combination of consistent purity, low cost of ownership and range of flow
capacities is unmatched across all types of hydrogen purifiers.
P+E ships purifiers to new customers in
China
Power+Energy says that it recently shipped a model
PE9070MZ2 (70NM3/hr nominal capacity) to an LED maker in China. It has also shipped a model
PE2100MP purifier to another electronics firm. Both are new customers that expand the installed
base of P+E H2 purifiers within China.
New hydrogen purification
White
P+E has issued a new White Paper ‘A Durable Gas
Purification Technology for High-flow Hydrogen in LED, Power Device and Photovoltaic Fabrication’
(available on its website) reviewing recent innovations in palladium membrane technology and the
impact on purifier performance and reliability.

About Power+Energy
Power & Energy is headquartered in
Pennsylvania, USA. Established in 1993, the company's mission is to enable the hydrogen economy
and promote energy efficiency through the application of micro-channel technologies. The company
provides a full range of micro-channel hydrogen purifiers to ultra-high purity users across the
U.S., Asia and Europe.
Power & Energy is leading the way to the
hydrogen economy with proprietary manufacturing and patented hydrogen purification, separation
and generation technologies. Power & Energy's Micro-Channel palladium-alloy hydrogen
purifiers purify any grade of hydrogen to nine-nines purity, meeting the most stringent
requirements for semiconductor fabrication processes, including light emitting diode
manufacture, solar cell manufacture and the manufacture of other compound and silicon
semiconductors. Power & Energy's Micro-Channel hydrogen purifiers are also ideal for
metallurgy, R&D, and instrumentation applications. Power & Energy's Micro-Channel
membrane systems can also be used to efficiently separate hydrogen from reformed fuels and
synthesis gas mixtures.
Power & Energy is now applying its hydrogen expertise to the fuel cell vehicle refueling
market. Power & Energy has recognized that highly compact, low cost, and efficient hydrogen
generators that can convert existing liquid fuels to hydrogen at the refueling station will enable
the rapid development of the hydrogen refueling infrastructure that fuel-cell vehicles will
require. The company's expertise in the design and manufacture of micro-channel gas processors
provides the basis for this exciting new venture.
