HyRadix Enables First Propane Fuel Cell

HyRadix Inc. has unveiled its first propane-powered fuel cell system, providing power to the Texas Department of Transportation’s TransGuide Facility in San Antonio. The system combines HyRadix’s Agilon™ propane reformer with a PEM fuel cell supplied by Plug Power Inc.

The system is under a multiphase program jointly funded by the Department of Energy through the Railroad Commission of Texas and the Propane Education and Research Council. The program included developing the proprietary Agilon propane reforming technology by HyRadix, integrating the reformer with a fuel cell from Plug Power, independent testing by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), and a three-month demonstration at TransGuide. SwRI noted the system’s ability to generate electric power without producing detectable levels of NOx, SOx, and CO .
