Power+Energy aims to focus exclusively on advanced hydrogen generation, separation, and analysis including palladium technology

On 19th April 2013, Power + Energy sold the intellectual property and all other rights to manufacture and market its low cost, high efficiency, Palladium micro-channel purifiers to SAES Pure Gas Inc.

Power + Energy's future business focus will provide innovative products and technologies to the growing markets for syn-gas and hydrogen generation, separation, and analysis.

Commenting on the sale, Power + Energy's CEO, Peter Bossard says, "I am very pleased that SAES has recognised the value of Power + Energy's hydrogen purification technology. We are looking forward to fully supporting the transition of the Palladium Hydrogen Purifiers from Power + Energy to SAES Pure Gas. And of course, I am excited by the prospect of being able to focus Power + Energy's future work on delivering innovative, energy efficient, low cost products to the growing hydrogen economy."

SAES Pure Gas will expand its manufacturing facility at its San Luis Obispo CA plant to build the Palladium micro-channel purifiers for ultra-high purity hydrogen applications.

Power + Energy will continue to build purifiers for SAES Pure Gas at its Ivyland PA plant until the SAES Pure Gas facility has been completed and will continue to provide warranty support for its existing purifier customers.

"The Palladium Membrane Technology fits perfectly within the purification portfolio of SAES Pure Gas. We are proud to offer this Palladium Membrane technology to our customers in conjunction with our other ultra-high purity technologies for Hydrogen (adsorber, heated getters) and other bulk gases which include Nitrogen, Argon, Helium, Ammonia, CDA, and Oxygen," comments Tim Johnson, SAES Pure Gas CEO. This acquisition comes at a crucial moment for Palladium Membrane technology, with the increased use of Hydrogen within the Electronics industry.

 

 

AngelTech Live III: Join us on 12 April 2021!

AngelTech Live III will be broadcast on 12 April 2021, 10am BST, rebroadcast on 14 April (10am CTT) and 16 April (10am PST) and will feature online versions of the market-leading physical events: CS International and PIC International PLUS a brand new Silicon Semiconductor International Track!

Thanks to the great diversity of the semiconductor industry, we are always chasing new markets and developing a range of exciting technologies.

2021 is no different. Over the last few months interest in deep-UV LEDs has rocketed, due to its capability to disinfect and sanitise areas and combat Covid-19. We shall consider a roadmap for this device, along with technologies for boosting its output.

We shall also look at microLEDs, a display with many wonderful attributes, identifying processes for handling the mass transfer of tiny emitters that hold the key to commercialisation of this technology.

We shall also discuss electrification of transportation, underpinned by wide bandgap power electronics and supported by blue lasers that are ideal for processing copper.

Additional areas we will cover include the development of GaN ICs, to improve the reach of power electronics; the great strides that have been made with gallium oxide; and a look at new materials, such as cubic GaN and AlScN.

Having attracted 1500 delegates over the last 2 online summits, the 3rd event promises to be even bigger and better – with 3 interactive sessions over 1 day and will once again prove to be a key event across the semiconductor and photonic integrated circuits calendar.

So make sure you sign up today and discover the latest cutting edge developments across the compound semiconductor and integrated photonics value chain.
