MEET OUR EXHIBITORS
Now in our 21st year, the Ohio Fuel Symposium attracts nationwide attendees, companies, manufacturers, public and government entities, organizations, research institutions, and technical/community colleges that are doing significant work in the hydrogen and fuel cell industry. This year the Symposium will be at Stark State College, Business and Entrepreneurial Center, 6200 Frank Ave. NW, North Canton, OH 44720.
WE WELCOME THE FOLLOWING TO OUR EXHIBIT SHOWCASE:
Ariel is the largest manufacturer of separable reciprocating gas compressors worldwide. Our compressors are utilized by the global energy industry to extract, process, transport, store, and distribute natural gas from the wellhead to the end-user. Additionally, Ariel compressors are used in the refining, petrochemical and industrial gas industries in specialty gas applications, including hydrogen. Since 1966, Ariel has shipped more than 65,000 compressors to our customers around the world. As a world-class manufacturer, Ariel sets the industry standard through expert design and manufacturing, industry-leading research and development, and unmatched customer support.
Eco Energy International is a joint venture of Bio Carbon Fuels (BCF) and Energy Technologies, Inc. (ETI), working together to develop and commercialize technologies to produce clean renewable energy from waste. Our patented, modular, scalable technologies produce pure hydrogen at costs rivaling those of large-scale facilities, but without releasing greenhouse gases (CO2, CO) that traditional processes produce. By using renewable feedstocks, this hydrogen is considered green (renewable) hydrogen that is in high demand in a growing market. These feedstocks include: Municipal Solid Waste, Agricultural Solid Waste, Food Industry Waste, Lumber Industry Waste, Alcohols, Sugars, Starches, Methane Gases, Biomass.
When applying our technologies to Municipal Solid Wastes, we produce renewable hydrogen from the biogenic (organic) materials that can be dissolved in our caustic solution and syngas from the balance of materials. This means that these materials are not landfilled and producing harmful greenhouse gases. Metals and glass are separated and recycled. The net result is a Total Recovery Facility (TRF) that produces renewable energy while significantly reducing the carbon footprint and reducing dependence on landfills, all at a profit.
Godfrey & Wing, a leading global manufacturer of vacuum impregnation technology, will present their latest technology for sealing leak paths in expanded and molded graphite bipolar plates. Their new technology (resin, process, and systems) provide sealed graphite plates without damage, and without the contamination with traditional impregnation processes. And, they do it in minutes, not hours.
Godfrey & Wing’s goals are to improve manufacturing, simplify complex processes, and help their customers improve throughput and profitability. With a proven track record in delivering results for castings used in ICEs, Godfrey & Wing is helping OEMs and manufacturers succeed as they now invest in FCVs and EVs. Established in 1948, they are now the longest-serving and largest vacuum impregnation equipment provider in the world.
