Linde Gas and Proton Energy Systems Join to Market Products
Linde Gas announced 3rd August it will add Proton Energy System's proprietary product line to Linde's portfolio of Analytical, Metallurgical and Energy Segment Products. Linde Gas LLC has entered into an agreement with Proton Energy Systems, Inc., a subsidiary of Distributed Energy Systems Corp., under which Linde Gas will become a distributor for Proton's HOGEN(R) on site hydrogen generation systems…
Linde Gas will market Proton's HOGEN(R) to energy and utilities sector customers in the US, Mexico and the Caribbean. This distribution agreement will further enhance Linde's product and service capabilities for the high-growth North American energy sector. Additionally, the agreement allows Linde Gas LLC to provide Proton's equipment to the Linde Group, extending Proton's global distribution network.
"Offering our customers Proton's HOGEN on site hydrogen generation systems advances Linde's global hydrogen energy initiatives in North America," says Phillip Midgett, Linde Gas Segment Manager for Energy and Utilities.
Region Manager for Specialty Gases RNA Howard Hubert adds, "Linde Gas is pleased to be a distribution partner with Proton. We're very enthusiastic about combining Proton's proprietary product line with Linde's extensive process technology platform and global service capabilities. Customers in the Analytical, Metallurgical, Electronics and of course Energy Segments will benefit from this relationship."
Proton's HOGEN(R) on site hydrogen generators produce hydrogen from electricity and water without harmful by-products. By providing a constant flow of high-purity hydrogen in electric utility applications, the hydrogen generator cools the electric generator casing. Using a patent pending process, these turnkey hydrogen generator systems can improve efficiencies in a utility's electric generators and result in significant cost savings by reducing windage loss, increasing output capacity and helping to extend generator maintenance intervals.
