DPH-CO Recovery

The CO Recovery Series captures high‑purity Carbon Monoxide (CO) from the tail gas or reformate stream of methanol‑to‑hydrogen plants. Instead of burning CO‑rich off‑gas, our advanced PSA + membrane system extracts up to 85% of CO and delivers it at 99.9% – 99.999% purity. This turns a waste stream into a profitable chemical resource, eliminating external CO logistics and drastically lowering your overall hydrogen plant cost.

Features

  • High CO purity – 99.9% – 99.999%, upgradeable for sensitive applications.

  • Up to 85% recovery efficiency – Maximizes CO yield from existing tail gas.

  • Seamless integration – Skid‑mounted, explosion‑proof, pre‑piped for direct connection to Hyvoda methanol hydrogen generators.

  • 5‑year adsorbent lifetime – Longer than industry standard (2‑3 years), reducing downtime and maintenance.

  • IoT‑enabled remote intelligence – Full remote monitoring, telemetry & telecontrol for unattended operation.

Applications

  • Chemical synthesis – Acetic acid, phosgene, formic acid, polycarbonates

  • Pharmaceuticals – Carbonylation for APIs and intermediates

  • Metal processing – Reducing agent in specialty alloys and metal powder

  • Laboratories & R&D – High‑purity carrier or reaction gas

  • Fine chemicals – Aldehyde synthesis, methanol carbonylation
