Validate the numbers on the 100 kW test bench.
Run your own gas on our pilot in Sophia-Antipolis: measured yields, carbon grades and energy per kilogram of hydrogen, before you commit to a plant.
Your gas, our torch, measured numbers.
As a direct extension of our engineering expertise in CFD, mechanical design, process integration and automation, Plenesys conducts pilot-scale experimental campaigns on its 100 kW test bench. These trials validate the performance of both the plasma torch and the methane pyrolysis process under representative industrial conditions, including compatibility with diverse gas feeds such as flared gas, biogas or client-specific mixtures. Operating parameters are then adjusted and optimised to meet the defined process requirements.
In parallel, we perform dedicated torch-only tests in controlled environments to evaluate thermal behaviour and arc stability under demanding conditions. The data forms a robust technical foundation for design optimisation, reliable integration into existing installations and efficient scale-up from pilot to full industrial deployment.
Four numbers you leave with.
Conversion rate
of methane to hydrogen and solid carbon
Energy consumption
per kilogram of hydrogen produced
Plasma in continuous operation
thermal behaviour, torch-only and in-process
Outlet gas composition
detailed analysis of the product gas
A customised report, and a protocol built around your objectives.
Each test results in a customised report that includes operating data, co-product analysis, technical recommendations and design parameters. The testing protocol can be adapted to your specific objectives — pressure, composition, throughput — and serves as a foundation for a feasibility study into the pre-engineering phase.
In the report
- Operating data of the campaign
- Co-product analysis: hydrogen purity, carbon grade
- Technical recommendations
- Design parameters for your plant
- Adapted to pressure, composition and throughput
Four stations, one campaign.
Your gas goes in at station 1; measured hydrogen, carbon and energy figures come out at station 4.
From a gas sample to a running plant.
From feasibility testing and process engineering to commissioning and long-term technical support, one team follows your project from concept to operation.
Pre-FEED engineering
Feasibility, thermodynamics and simulation, mechanical design, automation and process integration for your site.
Pilot testing
Your own gas on the 100 kW test bench: measured yields, energy per kg of H₂, carbon grades.
Commissioning & maintenance
Installation, start-up, training and long-term technical support.
