Overview
Toplus Energy Corp. was established in 2008. The core members come from ITRI's fuel cell team, and has committed to fuel cell development and production since establishment. During the past decade, Toplus has obtained more than 90% of Taiwan's fuel cell backup power orders. In recent years, Toplus has invested in the development of hydrogen exhaust purification and recycling technology and launched ECHP product in 2018. The product features Electrochemical Hydrogen Purification(ECHP) technology to separate hydrogen from the mixed nitrogen gas which is commonly seen in the semiconductor process and obtain hydrogen purity up to 99.999% (5N).
Toplus ECHP product has been in commercial operation at customer’s site in 2020, moreover it obtained SEMI S2 certification in 2021.
Besides purification and recycling, many users may choose to burn residual hydrogen in which it’s easy to generate toxic NOx, or directly exhaust to air worsening greenhouse effect. Toplus' newly developed dehydrogenizer products feature Low-Temperature Hydrogen Oxidation(LTHO) technology for safe operation without flames, and convert residual hydrogen into water. At present, Toplus’ cooperative customers include semiconductor factories, metal heat treatment factories, coating factories and resource recycling factories etc.
Important Milestone:
2009~2017: obtained more than 90% fuel cell backup power orders in Taiwan
2018: launched ECHP product
2020: first commercial operation of ECHP at customer’s site
2021: SEMI S2 certification for ECHP product
2022: launched LTHO Dehydrogenizer
Toplus ECHP product has the following features:
- Normal pressure, low opt. temp.
- Separate N2, up to 5N H2
- Modular design for easy expansion
Toplus LTHO dehydrogenizer product has the following features::
- Fuel free, No NOx emission
- Low opt. temp. & flameless
- Residual H2 < 4000ppm
