Successful Completion of Site Acceptance Test for MFE110 electrolyser

 

'MFE electrolyser working at scale on a customer site for the first time'

 

CPH2, the UK-based green hydrogen technology and manufacturing company that
has developed the IP-protected Membrane-Free Electrolyser ("MFE"), is pleased
to announce that Level 3 of the Site Acceptance Test ("SAT") for its MFE110
electrolyser at Northern Ireland Water's ("NIW") site in Belfast has been
successfully completed.

 

Highlights

·      A pivotal milestone for CPH2 in commercialising its technology,
with the MFE technology working at scale on a customer site for the first
time, producing high purity hydrogen and oxygen in a commercial environment.

·      Final stage of the SAT completed and independently witnessed by
Lagan MEICA Limited ("Lagan"), the principal contractor, and ARUP,
representing NIW.

·      SAT demonstrated the MFE110 producing high purity hydrogen of
99.999mol% over prolonged period and 99.7wt% oxygen. Hydrogen generated is at
fuel cell grade purity (ISO 14687)

·      Signifies Northern Ireland's first production of pure hydrogen
and oxygen generated reliably by an electrolyser at scale, a key market for
CPH2.

·      The milestone will help to unlock significant opportunities for
NIW's decarbonisation efforts, as well as highlight the transformative
potential of high purity oxygen across the wider wastewater treatment
industry.

·      Significant achievement in the safety case, demonstrating
compliance with health and safety requirements for deploying an electrolyser
within a public utility.

 

The final stage of the SAT for the MFE110 involved successfully verifying the
safe and fully automated startup, operation, performance, and shutdown of the
unit to the pre-determined specification at NIW site. The test was undertaken
by Lagan, the contractor to NIW, and was overseen by engineering design
specialists, Arup. SAT Level 3 followed successful pre-commissioning checks
(Level 1) and functional tests (Level 2) at NIW's site. The MFE110 will play
an important role in NIW's efforts to decarbonise its operations and explore
transformational potential high purity oxygen in wastewater treatment.

 

The SAT of the MFE110 has demonstrated positive operational data with high
purity of hydrogen at 99.999mol% over a prolonged period. The results provide
confidence in the engineering capabilities of CPH2's technology and place the
Group in a strong position as it advances the final design and build of the
MFE220.

 

The successful test is a significant milestone for CPH2 and paves the way
toward full commercialisation. It marks the first time CPH2's scaled MFE
technology has been fully operational and functioning at a customer's site,
providing further validation that MFE technology works at scale as the company
progresses with the build of the first flagship MFE220 1MW system.

 

Strategic context of the MFE110 SAT

The success of the MFE110, culminating in the recent SAT, has provided
valuable insights for developing CPH2's flagship MFE220, a 1MW system. Work is
already underway on the final design and build, with Factory Acceptance
Testing of the first MFE220 unit expected in H2 2025.

 

The Company has now entered its Commerciality Phase, focusing on key near-term
milestones - delivering MFE220 units for its existing customer contracts,
activating and supporting licensees, growing the commercial pipeline and
continued technology and product improvement.

 

Jon Duffy, CEO of CPH2 commented:

"We are delighted that the MFE110 has successfully completed the final SAT
level and that we now have a fully-fledged operational unit in the field. Our
customer producing hydrogen and oxygen at its site using our scaled MFE
technology is a significant milestone and proves that our technology is a
current solution to green hydrogen production.

 

It is a strong start to our next phase of commercialisation, with the team now
laser-focused on advancing the MFE220. We appreciate the guidance and support
from Lagan MEICA Ltd and are incredibly grateful to our customer Northern
Ireland Water, recipient of the Company's first MFE110, for their unwavering
support and patience."

 

Alistair Jinks, Director of Business Services at Northern Ireland Water,
commented:

"I am extremely pleased to have reached the successful conclusion of the SAT
at our site in Belfast as we sit proudly with the first operational scaled MFE
electrolyser in the country. While we have always taken pride in having a
pioneering approach to sustainable water management, to have our vision become
a reality is a special moment as we contribute to the hydrogen economy in
Northern Ireland. We look forward to continuing our relationship with CPH2 and
continuing to push the boundaries of the transformative potential of hydrogen
and oxygen in wastewater treatment."
