Sacré-Davey Innovations  and Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation (HTEC) have worked together to build a plant to capture, purify and compress hydrogen and make it available to the market through the Intergrated Waste Hydrogen Utilization Project (IWHUP). 

Hydrogen has been harnessed and processed in this manner using the hydrogen-rich by-product ("waste") stream of a sodium chlorate plant in North Vancouver since the Fall of 2006.  This is the first sub-project in IWHUP.

By making use of an existing by-product stream, the plant significantly reduces the financial cost and energy required to provide 99.995% pure hydrogen. The project integrates proven technologies, including QuestAir Technology’s Pressure Swing Adsorption system, into a proprietary modular hydrogen gas processing and recovery system. This removes contaminants from waste hydrogen in an environmentally safe way.
