INTRODUCTION
HTC Hydrogen Technologies Corp. is a Saskatchewan, Canada based energy technology company that is commercializing
CO2 capture/storage technologies and is developing and commercializing hydrogen production technologies.
HTC Purenergy is the commercial brand of HTC. The laboratories of HTC Purenergy are based at the world-renowned International Test Centre for
CO2 Capture located at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. Their vision of clean energy is based on the reduction of
CO2 from smoke stacks and tail pipes, is fully in line with the carbon concerned worlds commitment to Kyoto Protocol.
HTC was incorporated January 2001 and became actively engaged in the New Pure Energy Economy in February 2002. The Company was set up to develop innovative processes and new methodology to improve the efficiency of
CO2 capture/storage and the production of hydrogen. The University of Regina has spent over 10 years pioneering commercializable
CO2 technologies. The development of hydrogen production technologies based on
CO2 utilization and capture is an efficient continuation of the pioneering pure energy technologies.

Lowering of stripping temperatures
-
Reduction of solvent degradation
-
Increased absorption efficiencies
-
Improve efficiency in random and structured column packing
-
Reduction of system corrosiveness
-
Reduction of capital costs
TECHNOLOGY SUITE
PSR Designer Solvents
HTC's patented, high performance solvent technology has provided the breakthrough with increased absorption kinetics and corrosion control in
CO2 and solvent environments.
KINETICS BOSS - CO2 Modeling / Design and Simulation Processes
HTC's patented modeling/design/simulation processes and staging platforms for solvent and catalyst design, has set an industry benchmark for cost effective development of
CO2 capture. The ability to cost effectively configure solvents and catalysts ensures maximum efficiencies are achieved on deployment of the
CO2 capture systems. Kinetics Boss features include:
-
Modeling program developed to simulate absorption rates and enhancement factors from known kinetics and operating conditions
-
Can predict the kinetics of the
reaction by interpreting absorption from experimental data
-
Able to predict concentration profiles, absorption rate and /or enhancement factors from known kinetics
-
This model takes into account the coupling between chemical equilibrium, mass transfer, and chemical kinetics of all possible chemical reactions
-
Capability of predicting gas absorption rates and enhancement factors from the system hydrodynamics and the physico-chemical properties
-
Able to custom design CO2 capture facility to meet specific needs for flow rates,
CO2 capture
-
Able to reduce experimental time required to custom design packing material, solvents, heat and mass transfer rates for
CO2 capture unit
MANAGED SERVICES OFFERINGS
HTC is able to provide organizations seeking an outsourced model for CO2 capture. This includes the provisioning of a remote monitoring and control system from a central command center. On site technical services and systems can also be provided.
CO2 CAPTURE DEMONSTRATION FACILITIES
HTC operates and maintains a range of demonstration and test facilities for capture in Coal and Natural Gas fired generation. Its prime commercial plant at Boundary Dam is utilized for demonstration and through HTC's Managed Service Platform, the system in operation can be monitored remotely with access provided to clients globally.
