ITM Power Buys Hy9 Hydrogen Purifiers for Vehicle Refueling Station

HOPKINTON, MA--(Marketwire - March 22, 2010) - Hy9 Corporation (http://www.hy9.com), a leading manufacturer of hydrogen generators and hydrogen purifiers for energy and transportation applications, announced today the sale of its HPS industrial scale hydrogen purifiers for use in ITM Power's Transportable Hydrogen Refueling Station. The primary barrier to the acceptance of hydrogen for fueling vehicles is the guarantee of pure hydrogen. ITM Power's Transportable Hydrogen Refueling Station overcomes that barrier by providing hydrogen vehicle operators with the means to fuel their fleets with cost effective, pure hydrogen. Hy9's HPS purification system will deliver hydrogen in excess of 99.9999% purity, ensuring ITM systems meet the latest stringent ISO standards for fuel purity and work seamlessly with hydrogen internal combustion and fuel cell vehicles.

Dr. Graham Cooley, CEO of ITM Power, said, "We are pleased to be working with Hy9 as part of our hydrogen refueling infrastructure deployment. Hy9's hydrogen purifiers provide ITM the assurance that our hydrogen refueling station will provide the highest quality hydrogen fuel for H-ICE and fuel cell vehicle fleets, demonstrating hydrogen as a zero carbon transportation fuel, available today."

According to Brad Bradshaw, CEO of Hy9, "Hy9 appreciates having the opportunity to supply hydrogen purifiers to ITM Power as part of their Transportable Hydrogen Refueling Station, providing a zero carbon transportation fuel. Hy9's HPS Hydrogen Purifiers provide a proven, cost effective and compact purification solution, ensuring customers receive the highest grade hydrogen for their transportation applications."

Hy9 has close to 1,000 hydrogen purifiers operating in customer facilities around the world, with a minimum of 3 million hours of operation over a period of 10 years. The HPS purifier is an absolute barrier to contaminants, allowing only pure hydrogen to pass through the membrane. The company has sold purifiers for use in a wide range of applications including laboratory gas generators, backup power, fork lift refueling, combined heat and power, vehicle refueling and hydrogen recycling.
