The HERC prototype has demonstrated an 18% combustion efficiency gain in industrial validation in 2022 with the potential to transform the entire combustion industry. Durability pilots are starting in the summer of 2023.
Increasing fuel combustion efficiency reduces greenhouse gas emissions and helps hard-to-abate industries to decarbonize.
HERC can be easily installed into existing infrastructure, without the need for rebuilding or upgrading. It can be installed in less than 1 hour, with simple plug-and-play capabilities.
HERC operates without any external power source, making it a cost-effective solution. It is self-powered by gaining energy from the waste heat of the combustion.
HERC has no moving parts. it is robust and compact, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance and Opex. HERC is a game-changer for industrial heating processes, combining efficiency, affordability, and sustainability in a single solution.
The semi-empirical model based on the Jahn-Teller effect provides additional enthalpy in the thermochemical combustion, resulting in a potential increase in efficiency of up to 40% for natural gas and 75% for hydrogen.
