Technical Specifications

Core Performance of Palladium-Alloy Membranes

H2SITE's palladium-alloy membranes maintain top-tier purity and efficiency even under the most demanding test conditions in the industry, providing a reliable technical foundation for integrated solutions.

99.97%+
Hydrogen Purity

Palladium-alloy membranes are exclusively selective to hydrogen, continuously delivering ultra-high-purity hydrogen under any inlet gas conditions, meeting the highest quality standards for fuel cells and precision manufacturing processes.

98%
Hydrogen Recovery Rate

Membrane separation technology recovers up to 98% of hydrogen from mixed gas streams, maximizing feedstock utilization and reducing the cost per kilogram of hydrogen produced.

2%
Minimum Processable Hydrogen Concentration

Even when the inlet hydrogen concentration is as low as 2%, H2SITE membrane separators can effectively extract high-purity hydrogen, unlocking new applications such as natural hydrogen recovery and waste gas processing.

1Step
Integrated Reaction and Separation

Conventional processes require separate cracking furnaces and PSA purification units. H2SITE's integrated membrane reactor completes the entire process in a single unit, significantly reducing equipment footprint and capital expenditure.
