COMMERCIAL REACTOR

  • GH Power has completed the design, procurement, and Phase 1 test program of a 1 MW Commercial Reactor.
  • The reactor was built and tested at GH Power’s fabrication facility in Hamilton in the GTA.
  • To house 24/7 continuous commercial operations, the reactor was disassembled and installed at a new GH Power industrial property in Hamilton.
  • Phase 2 Testing Program focuses on preparing the reactor for commercial operations.
  • Phase 3: will include continuous operations of 1MW Commercial Reactor and integration into the final modular reactor design for a large-scale behind-the-fence power solution for the building landlord.

PLAN TO SCALE TECHNOLOGY

Brief testing on 1 MW reactor

Steps to scale from 2-hour test runs on 1 MW reactor to multiple 25 MW combined cycle projects.

24/7 operations of 1MW reactor

  • Move reactor into new facility
  • Install and testing/optimization window
  • Data collection from testing
  • Staff training and formalised policies and procedures
  • Develop hydrogen quality control methods
  • Develop 4N/5N alumina quality control methods

Increase power production

  • Purchase combustion engine
  • Power production used for internal processes
  • Gather and access data from power production
  • Obtain certification for power production
  • Unit used for training

Gas Turbine Integration

  • Build large scale reactor at highest ROI site in pipeline
  • Design collaboration with turbine manufacture
  • Optimize reactor tube sizes and configuration
  • Interconnection agreement and off-grid PPAs

Manufacture and operate multiple 25 MW combined cycle projects

  • Use Hamilton as mass manufacturing and R&D facility
  • Standardize manufacturing
  • Make operational processes and best practices easily transferable
