[{"type":"text","content":"\n \n21 August 2017\n\nPowerHouse Energy Group plc\n\n(“PowerHouse†or “the Companyâ€)\n\nExtended Trial Produces Over 50% hydrogen Syngas\n\nPowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the company focused on ultra high temperature gasification waste-to-hydrogen, waste-to-energy, and the creator of Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG)© systems, is pleased to announce that subsequent to the re-commissioning operation of G3-UHt gasification unit (announcement 31 July, 2017) the Company has completed its first extended technical trial of the Distributed Modular Gasification (DMG)© gasification process at the Energy Center of Thornton Science Park, UK.\n\nAs previously announced, the Company has begun a robust program of testing and technical data collection for integration into the process engineering basis of design for the commercial roll-out of DMG. Distributed Modular Gasification© is a mechanism for the eradication of waste, the generation of distributed electricity, and, most importantly, the production of distributed hydrogen.\n\nOperating on a feedstock of tyre crumb, PowerHouse engineers were able to demonstrate control of the process at ultra-high temperature which led to the generation of synthesis gas (syngas.) According to onsite, in-line analytical instrumentation, the syngas produced was greater than 50% hydrogen by volume. The remaining, measurable, constituent elements of the syngas were CO (carbon monoxide) and CH4 (methane.) Importantly, the in-line gas analysis equipment detected absolutely no CO2 in the gas stream generated by the Unit. A more rigorous analysis of the syngas produced in the DMG process will be conducted by certified external laboratories in future trials.\n\nThe G3-UHt unit was disassembled subsequent to its previous trial for a thorough post-operational review. The results of that review led to minor modifications of the operational parameters by which the most recent trial was conducted. Similarly, the unit will again undergo a thorough dis-assembly, inspection, and evaluation of each individual component of the system to ensure continuity of plan.\n\n“PowerHouse has long focused on the efficient generation of energy from waste. However, our ability to generate a concentrated volume of hydrogen from waste, on a distributed basis, sets us apart from others. We believe that DMG is cri...
