What we do

The innovation of the HN hydrogen purification technology lies in the use of vanadium as the metal film.
The extremely high hydrogen permeability of vanadium makes it possible to purify ultra-pure hydrogen to a theoretical purity of 100%. Also, unlike palladium, which was used in conventional metal membranes, vanadium reserves are abundant, resulting in an overwhelmingly low cost of ownership. Furthermore, it is possible to develop devices that are compact and quiet in operation. Various projects are currently underway that utilize HN hydrogen purification technology.

Company's story

Our Specialty
It can be used in a wide variety of situations where hydrogen is required, including semiconductor plants.
We are currently developing a hydrogen purification device using vanadium hydrogen permeable metal membrane, mainly for semiconductor plants. Regardless of the concentration of hydrogen, as long as there is a gas containing hydrogen, it can be purified to almost 100% purity.

Features of HN Hydrogen Purification Technology Device

A wide variety of hydrogen-containing gases, including low-concentration gases, can be used as raw materials.
Ultra-high purity of 99.9999% (theoretically 100%), enabling longer life of fuel cells.
Compact size and quiet.

Ultra-high purity, low cost, simple and compact structure.
There are many reasons why you should choose HN Hydrogen Purification Technology.
The vanadium used in HN Hydrogen Purification Technology has unmatched advantages in terms of its superior hydrogen permeation performance and cost reduction due to its large reserves. Compared to major conventional hydrogen purification technologies, our technology is superior to palladium membranes in terms of low cost and purification capacity, and to PSA methods in terms of recovery rate, including the ability to recover ultra-high purity and low purity hydrogen, and running costs. Another attractive point is the simplicity of the structure, which allows for downsizing of the device.
Our story
Hydrogen, which is attracting attention as one of the “next generation energy sources” in an era when carbon neutrality is being promoted worldwide, is also found in various resources and by-products of human economic activities.
And any of these gases can be converted into resources as long as they can be separated from CO2.
However, the high cost of purification has prevented its active adoption as an energy source, and we at HydroNext have succeeded in extracting hydrogen from a mixed gas state using a vanadium metal permeable membrane that is inexpensive and easy to procure.
We are the only company to have this innovative technology, and we believe it will contribute to improving Japan's energy self-sufficiency in the future.
We are more than happy if our HN hydrogen refining technology can contribute to Japan's goal of a new option for carbon-free energy.
We are strongly convinced that this country's hydrogen society is here to stay.
