dynaCERT Inc says that its dealer H2 Tek LP has provided an update on sales of dynaCERT’s proprietary HydraGEN™ technology to several Tier 1 players in the global mining industry. The patented technology creates hydrogen and oxygen on-demand through a unique electrolysis system and supplies these gases through the air intake to enhance combustion, resulting in lower carbon emissions and greater fuel efficiency.
Zinc miner Nexa Resources, with six mines and three smelters in Brazil and Peru has purchased four HG1s for highway transport haul trucks in Brazil and six HG2 Units on three trucks in Peru with double HG2s per vehicle for trials, which successfully demonstrated the benefits of the HydraGEN technology to the satisfaction of Nexa Resources.
Global iron ore and zinc miner Vale has purchased from H2 Tek four HG6C HydraGEN™ Units for a single large diesel power generator to be installed at the remote Voisey’s Bay, Newfoundland & Labrador nickel mine to be used on a 4.5 MW generator. Copper mining giant Codelco and H2 Tek have completed a successful pilot of two HG6C HydraGEN™ units on large Komatsu 930E haul trucks at the Division Ministro Hales (DMH) mine in Calama, Chile.
Antamina, one of the largest mines in the world, and the largest Peruvian producer of copper concentrate, has purchased from H2 Tek three HG6C HydraGEN™ Units to be installed in large mining haul trucks.
Over the past two years, dynaCERT says it has received input from its dealers and customers and the larger HydraGEN™ Technology Units, the HG4C and HG6C, have been significantly modified and improved. The HG4C and HG6C Units are designed to meet the growing need and demand for improved fuel efficiency along with a significant reduction in GHGs of resources companies
