Company Overview

Synergen Met is an Australian Clean-Tech equipment and service provider.

Synergen Met’s clean hydrogen production is commercially competitive globally and can be implemented to begin the hydrogen revolution and accelerate global decarbonisation.

What they do:

• Sell Industrial Plasma equipment
• Treat and destroy toxic liquid waste – waste to energy applications
• Produce and sell clean hydrogen and carbon black for different customers

Business Overview – summarised below

SynergenMet – Hydrogen Production

• Synergen’s Technology Makes Hydrogen by splitting natural gas or biomethane directly into hydrogen and solid carbon.
• Synergen technology targets 1,350kg/day. This will fuel over 40 trucks per day.
• Process has 2 revenue streams: Hydrogen and Carbon Black
• Synergen makes money by producing the hydrogen and carbon in joint ventures with large companies and sharing the capital cost and profits

Synergen Environmental  – PFAS  Destruction (Per-And Poly- Fluroalkyl Substances) 

What are PFAS?

• Commonly called “forever chemicals”.
• A group of manufactured chemicals used since the 1950s in common household product, specialist manufacturing (e.g. non-stick cookware, fabric, furniture), some industrial processes and fire-fighting products.
• Fluorine-rich long-chain molecules, many of which are dangerous to human and ecological health.
• Until now, very high cost to treat ground and wastewater contaminated with PFAS, which is often securely stored
  for eternity in landfill sites, or incinerated to destroy it.

Innovative Plasma Destruction Technology

• Modular, skid-based transportable and convenient design
• Plasma is generated using an electrical arc discharge
• Extremely high temperatures in excess of 10,000°C
• Abundant protons are made available to mineralise the fluorine (to benign HF)
• Free hydrogen is generated
• Sufficient oxygen to react to the carbon (forms carbon oxides)
• No residual fluorocarbons are produced
• HF produced is immediately converted to calcium fluoride, a
  harmless mineral, in a lime scrubber
• PFAS is completely and safely destroyed, and the abundant protons mean fluorocarbon recombination is prevented!

Plasma Heating Systems  – Synergen Met obtained the right to acquire Phoenix Solutions Co (“PSC”) on 31st October 2021. PSC is based in Plymouth, Minnesota, USA.

Phoenix is a leading supplier and innovator in the field of plasma heating systems. Phoenix provides plasma arc torches that solve complex industrial problems that require intense heat.

Phoenix Plasma equipment is robust technology that powers hazardous and non-hazardous waste remediation, including low-level nuclear and biomedical wastes, metallurgical applications such as tundish heating, nanoparticle generation, silicon ingot production and platinum group metals reclamation, and waste-to-energy conversion projects, processing municipal solid waste into energy-rich synthetic fuels.
