XRG and Bayotech partner to design and build a next generation reformer furnace

XRG Technologies, a leader in fired equipment engineering and design, and BayoTech, a leader in hydrogen production, transportation, and storage solutions, announced a new partnership to design and build a proprietary high performance reforming furnace.

In this next generation reformer design, XRG will utilize their combustion expertise and CFD modeling capabilities to tailor heat flux profiles to BayoTech’s proprietary reactor design, enabling more hydrogen production with the same energy input.

BayoTech is accelerating the hydrogen revolution through greater accessibility, starting with its first production plant in Missouri. This next generation reformer furnace will be incorporated into future facilities as BayoTech establishes a network of localized hydrogen production hubs in the US. Producing on a small scale with proprietary technology, BayoTech’s goal is to make reliable, cost-effective, low-carbon hydrogen accessible today.

XRG Technologies is focused on combining diverse expertise with advanced simulation tools to develop innovative combustion and heat transfer solutions, enabling the industry to achieve energy efficiency and environmental stewardship goals.

Tom Korb, XRG’s VP of Technology and Commercial Development, elaborated: “XRG is pleased to partner with BayoTech in our shared vision of making the hydrogen economy a reality. This partnership is especially productive because both companies operate with an innovation and first-mover mindset. Through close collaboration, XRG and BayoTech will co-develop the next generation reformer which will improve BayoTech’s hydrogen generation system performance and accelerate the introduction of hydrogen to the transportation system and beyond.”
