Dylan CHP LLC has researched, developed, and patented advanced steam generation technology, utilizing hydrogen to generate clean energy electricity. The Dylan System is based on extreme heat preservation (EHP), the heart of the Dylan patent that allows the Dylan Energy-Efficient System to achieve nameplate steam output while consuming only a small fraction of the hydrogen. Dylan’s flexible EHP technology can easily be retrofitted to burn other fuels including natural gas, LNG, flare gas, landfill gas, MSW, or other traditional fuels as feedstock that more conventional systems require. Dylan continues to engineer its system to maximize quality, energy efficiencies and reliability to its customers. 

The Dylan System generates low-pressure saturated steam within a closed loop circulating architecture. Within the Dylan System environment, a circulating liquid is heated to the desired steam temperature, which is then released to drive steam turbine-based electrical generation technology. Steam then condenses back to liquid, is recirculated, and again efficiently converted back to steam. The Dylan System can produce electricity from steam-driven turbines ranging from 6 MW (with spare-steam generating capacity to go to 12 MW) and can easily scale incrementally in parallel to 100 MW and above. This is proprietary and patent-pending technology that can only be obtained from Dylan Energy and is significantly more efficient than existing technology. 

Engineered Solution

Dylan’s revolutionary patented technology is an engineered solution. Due to its extreme heat preservation technology, Dylan can produce electricity, on or off-grid, very efficiently and at a low cost. Dylan and its partners have identified rural communities that are getting gouged by the local utilities due to scarcity of supply and/or lack of public infrastructure. In many cases, there can be over 100 miles of transmission lines coming from a substation, which makes entire rural communities totally reliant on the volatility of these limitations and/or imbalances in the event of a single point of failure (i.e., loss of power lines or transformers from lightning strike or weather, shortage of power at the end of the distribution lines, etc.) and without a redundancy loop or backup. Through a collaborative process, Dylan can design a properly sized system to allow clean, dependable, efficient and affordable energy to schools, local governments, businesses and the public, while also assisting in balancing electrical loads on the national grid.

Dylan’s engineered solution uses its patented and tested technology for producing steam with a flexible fuel feedstock burner at significantly less BTUs per pound of steam than historical boilers. Based on certified engineer reports and testing of the Dylan steam generation technology, the results (input of fuel BTUs and output of steam at different pressures and temperatures) were then utilized to coordinate with engineers from other proven steam turbine technologies and gen-sets to establish an engineered solution as outlined in Figure 1. A 13 MW Gross Dylan System will net 12 MW of electricity after parasitic electricity is utilized to run the Dylan. 

All production units are designed and constructed to meet or exceed:

1) Application and code requirements per the federal government or managing code department by location (specialized national and international code compliance by Bureau Veritas).

2) NEMA electrical codes.

3) Explosion proof per Class I, Group C/D, Div. II.

4) UL-approved control panels and any other codes that are applicable and as advised by the Dylan engineering department.
