Zero Regio On-Site Hydrogen Production Plant in Operation in Mantova, Italy
On-Site production plant based on SCT-CPO (Short Contact Time Catalytic Partial Oxidation), a propriety process of Eni S.p.A realised and tested in August 2008 goes in operation. Designed for a through put 20 Nm3/hr the plant can be operated in continuous as well as intermittent mode. Based on the needs of the FCV fleet in operation at Mantova, it is planned to operate the on-site plant in short campaigns of 4-5 days each with intermission in between. Alternative means for consuming hydrogen such as a stationary fuel-cell unit are planned at the service station for the future (beyond Zero Regio) where the plant will be operated in continuous mode.
