Technology

Same Syngas. Smarter Energy. A Cleaner Future.

At the heart of SYPOX technology is an electrically heated catalytic reactor for high-temperature gas conversion. Instead of generating heat by fuel combustion and transferring it into the reactor, SYPOX integrates direct electric heating and catalysis in a single unit. Renewable electricity is delivered directly into the catalytic bed, where conversion takes place.

Ceramic Catalyst. Electrified Precision. Steel Simplicity.

Built on a ceramic-supported catalyst, enclosed in a cold-skin pressure shell made from low cost carbon steel, SYPOX’s e-SMR balances high-temperature power with practical, cost-efficient design – ready to scale clean hydrogen and syngas production anywhere.

Designed  for Energy Efficiency.

  • Direct Resistive Heating in Contact with the Catalyst
  • Multi-mode Heat Transfer: Radiant (high View Factor), Convection, and Conduction
  • Up to 95% Energy Efficiency from Power Input to Reaction Zone
  • Ultra-high Energy Density: 10 MW/m³ inside the SYPOX Catalytic Bed
  • Reactor Outlet Temperatures up to 1100 °C and 50 bar
  • Negligible Pressure Drop (< 0.5 bar)
  • No Radial Temperature Gradients – Ensuring Uniform Reaction Conditions
  • Operation at > 400V simplifies Power Supply Unit

Maximum Output. Minimum Emissions.

Turn More Feedstock into Fuel.

Because the reactor is electrically heated, hydrocarbon feedstock is only used for catalytic conversion rather than for fired heat generation. All of the feed goes into product formation and nothing is lost to combustion.

  • Higher Conversion
  • No Combustion Losses
  • No Flue Gas. No Wasted Fuel
  • 30–40% Less Natural Gas Consumption

Engineered for Unmatched Efficiency.

Every part of SY-ZEHN is designed to maximize conversion efficiency and reactor performance under industrial conditions.

  • Direct Resistive Heating at the Catalyst – up to 1100°C
  • Internal Refractory Lining for Thermal Efficiency > 95%
  • Precision Control of Heat Input via Renewable Electricity
