Two revenue streams
Hydrogen and a chemical product can contribute to the economics of the same production asset.
The platform is being developed around an initial benzaldehyde application, with a broader pipeline of value-added electrochemical processes.
Hydrogen is produced at the cathode while benzyl alcohol is selectively converted into benzaldehyde at the anode. The objective is to create two saleable products from the same electrical current.
Paired electrolysis targets a stronger business case than hydrogen-only operation by replacing a low-value anode product with a marketable chemical.
Hydrogen and a chemical product can contribute to the economics of the same production asset.
The process is intended to support lower-carbon production when operated with renewable power.
The target route is being designed without chloride-containing oxidants and with reduced reliance on stoichiometric oxidants.
The platform may fit chemical parks, hydrogen projects and distributed specialty-chemical production.
Servarray is developing a reactor platform rather than a single-purpose process.
Future applications may include other alcohol-to-aldehyde conversions, biomass-derived oxidation reactions and the electrochemical production of lactic acid or lactate salts from glycerol.
Each application will be selected based on electrochemical selectivity, product value, feedstock availability, separation requirements and customer demand.
Our initial focus is on organisations able to validate the technology, define product requirements and support pilot deployment.
Producers seeking electrified, lower-carbon routes for benzaldehyde and other high-value chemicals.
Developers seeking improved hydrogen economics and additional value from the anode reaction.
Partners capable of industrial design, system integration, manufacturing and deployment.
Sites with integrated utility systems, product offtake and opportunities for hydrogen use.
Laboratories with electrochemistry, analytical, materials and prototype-testing capabilities.
Investors and corporate partners supporting deep-tech validation, scale-up and market access.
The final model will be selected based on pilot data, customer demand, capital intensity and project economics.
Commercialise the process through equipment sales, licensing, engineering, commissioning, maintenance, technical support and future system upgrades.
Build and operate production facilities and sell green hydrogen and high-value chemicals directly to industrial customers.
