Hygear, specialist in on-site gas generation technologies, signed a contract with LIPICO Technologies Pte. Ltd. a turnkey supplier of food production and processing plants from Singapore.
LIPICO is responsible for the engineering and supply of a new edible oil processing plant for Sena Kalyan Edible Oil Industries from Gazipur, Bangladesh. One of the key elements of the plant is the hydrogenation of the oil. In this process, hydrogen (H2) molecules are added in the presence of a catalyst to produce fats with semi-solid consistency. This process prevents oxidation and stabilises the oil.
As the H2 supply in Bangladesh is limited and distances to sources are large, HyGear’s on-site Hy.GEN technology provided great advantages over traditional supply options. In this specific case, where H2 is applied in a batch process, Hy.GEN offers the additional benefit of a high degree of modulation, which means the systems can be idled in case of low demand.
