Sustainable Innovations, LLC Wins NASA Phase I SBIR to Develop Cutting-Edge Helium Recovery System

The heart of the HRS is a system platform under commercial development by Sustainable Innovations, termed H2RENEW™. The H2RENEW™ is an electrochemical system that separates and compresses hydrogen using Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology. The H2RENEW™ is currently being developed for industrial applications, including metals and electronics processing. The ability to recover both pure hydrogen and pure helium from mixed waste gas streams adds further value to the HRS.

Sustainable Innovations' newly awarded Phase I SBIR program will establish a new fundamental cell design for the HRS having the capability to separate at least twice the gas of previous designs. Ultimately, the NASA SSC HRS will be able to recapture >98% of the hydrogen and helium currently combusted and/or released to the atmosphere as waste.
