Multiple HG100 Electrolyser Units Ordered

Acta S.p.A. (Italy), the clean energy products company, have recently announced a large order for their HG100 hydrogen generator units from Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG.

The estimated value of the order will be around €150,000 and Acta have aimed to deliver their products during the first half of 2013. Delivery against the order is subject to call-down of the units by Heliocentris based on market demand generated through Heliocentris’ global distribution network for the educational market.

The HG100 unit is based on Acta’s EL100 hydrogen generator. This generator is easy to use and safe making it a perfect solution for the Heliocentris' product range for educational institutions and laboratories. A number of modifications have been included by Acta to help meet Heliocentris' specific criteria for their target market. One of these improvements was developing the dryer module to help create high purity of hydrogen. The hydrogen generator, named HG100 and branded as a Heliocentris product, was launched at the Worlddidac exhibition in Basel.

Heliocentris has an exclusive global license to sell Acta's products to the educational market and in return has committed to buying alkaline solid membrane electrolyser products exclusively from Acta.

Paolo Bert, Chief Executive of Acta commented: “Acta is delighted with the continued interest from Heliocentris in our electrolyser products. This is further endorsement and recognition of our technology. It cements our already strong partnership and demonstrates the increasing demand in the market for low cost electrolyser technology which produces clean and dry hydrogen.”

Ayad Abul-Ella, Chief Executive of Heliocentris commented: "Acta’s HG100 hydrogen generator is ideal for integration into our educational products and applied research products. We are pleased to add the hydrogen generator to our growing range and look forward to showing the advantages of the technology to our educational market customers at Worlddidac Basel 2012.”
