Servarray develops rotating thin-film electrolysis technologies designed to co-produce green hydrogen and high-value chemicals with improved energy and process efficiency.
Green hydrogen remains power-intensive, while specialty chemical producers need cleaner and more electrified manufacturing routes. Servarray addresses both challenges in one process.
Conventional alkaline electrolysis can be constrained by bubble coverage, mass-transfer limitations, thermal management and the low value of oxygen produced at the anode.
Specialty chemical manufacturers need practical routes that use renewable electricity, lower process emissions and reduce dependence on conventional oxidation chemistry.
Rotating thin-film electrochemistry is combined with paired electrolysis so that hydrogen is produced at the cathode while the anode performs a value-generating chemical conversion.
The platform is designed around continuous film renewal, improved gas management and value-generating anode chemistry. These benefits are development targets and will be verified through laboratory and prototype testing.
Two saleable outputs can be generated from the same electrical current and reactor infrastructure.
Continuous film renewal is intended to improve wetting, gas detachment and mass transfer at the active surface.
A cylindrical architecture is being developed for high active area and modular scale-up.
The platform may be adapted to multiple value-added electrochemical oxidation processes.
Our first target application combines hydrogen production at the cathode with the electrochemical conversion of benzyl alcohol into benzaldehyde at the anode.
This approach is intended to replace part or most of the conventional oxygen-evolution reaction with a value-generating process and create a renewable-electricity-enabled route to a widely used specialty chemical.
