Mahler AGS HYDROSWING plants deliver high-purity hydrogen by separating it from synthesis gas or off-gas streams using advanced PSA technology. Reliable, efficient and tailored to your process requirements.

ADVANDED PSA PURIFICATION FOR HYDROGEN 

The hydroswing process is based on multibed pressure swing adsorption technology. Feed gas streams containing hydrogen are purified by selectively adsorbing impurities such as CO, CO₂, CH₄ and N₂. The result is a continuous flow of high-purity hydrogen, with recovery rates of up to 90%, produced fully automatically and without the need for operator attendance.

- Fully automatic operation and remote control
- Easy maintenance and accessibility

Mahler AGS Hydroform-M plants generate high-purity hydrogen from methanol and water via compact steam reforming with downstream purification based on PSA technology—reliable, efficient and ideal for distributed supply or point-of-use applications.

COMPACT HYDROGEN GENERATION FROM METHANOL

Proven methanol steam reforming with integrated PSA

Hydroform-Mconverts a mixture of methanol and demineralized water into a hydrogen-rich synthesis gas at moderate reforming temperatures. After shift conversion, an integrated multibed PSA removes CO, CO₂, CH₄ and N₂ to deliver a continuous stream of ultra-pure hydrogen. The system is fully automatic, designed for unattended operation and quick start-up, and can be tuned to your required flow, purity and pressure.
