Blue Hydrogen Water Requirements
Written by: Lisa Li (P. Eng, M. Chem. Eng.)

This whitepaper explores the water requirements for Blue Hydrogen. Blue Hydrogen is produced through the steam methane reforming (SMR) process, which combines natural gas with high-temperature steam to produce hydrogen. This process involves several critical stages, including methane conversion, CO2 capture, and hydrogen purification. Water is essential in various aspects of the production process, from steam generation to cooling and purification.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse Osmosis Pretreatment
Written by: Matthew McCurdy (Process EIT)

This whitepaper explores why it is important to have pre-treatment in your Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. RO membrane replacement cost account for approximately 13% of plant costs, so it is important to protect the RO with pre-treatment so that they last as long as possible.
