At AGC Glass Europe in Belgium, a flat glass production factory specialising in thin flat glass and specialty glass, three HyGear’s Hy.GEN® systems and a Hy.PURE® system provides on-demand and on-site hydrogen and nitrogen.
As a result, the hydrogen production ensures that AGC has full control over its process. Furthermore, the purified nitrogen guarantees the high-purity environment needed for the controlled tin bath in flat glass production. Moreover, it presents an attractive business case and supports the company’s sustainability goals.
Koen Michiels, Manager Float at AGC Glass Europe Mol, said, “The reliability of on-site hydrogen production reduces the need for transport logistics, easing the burden on operators. This partnership is a strong business case, allowing our production site to focus on its core operations.”
