PyroGenesis Inc., a high-tech company that designs, develops, manufactures and commercializes advanced all-electric plasma processes and sustainable solutions to support heavy industry in their energy transition, emission reduction, commodity security, and waste remediation efforts, announced that its subsidiary, Pyro Green-Gas Inc., has completed the previously announced USD 9.3M coke-oven gas valorization (via purification, desulphurization, and heavy hydrocarbon removal) and hydrogen production project for Tata Steel.
Pyro Green-Gas was contracted to supply coke-oven gas purification solutions and hydrogen production processes, to extract hydrogen and other toxic gases from the blast furnace process, then separate, clean, and process the gases to render hydrogen to a 99.999% purity level. The project has been completed, and the systems developed by Pyro Green-Gas are in continuous 24 hr./day operation at the Tata steel facility in Kalinganagar India. The newly reformed hydrogen produced by the system is being reused by other applications at the facility, improving production efficiency and environmental outcomes. The project contributes to Tata’s circular production goals, as well as to their cost reduction programs.
