HydroGraph Announces Construction of Two Additional Hyperion Reactors to Expand Production Capacity

HG · Price

Executive Summary

  • HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. has begun construction of two additional Hyperion graphene reactors, each capable of producing ~10 t/yr of ultra‑pure fractal graphene.
  • The new reactors are slated for commissioning in January and February 2026 in Manhattan, Kansas, before being relocated to the company’s Texas manufacturing complex under development.
  • This expansion supports HydroGraph’s broader strategy to scale production capacity and meet growing customer demand throughout 2026 and beyond.

Key Details

  • Each Hyperion reactor will produce approximately 10 tons per year of FGA‑1 ultra‑pure fractal graphene using the company’s proprietary explosion‑synthesis process.
  • Physical footprint of each unit: ≈ 6 ft × 6 ft × 18 ft (same as existing commercial unit).
  • Construction has commenced on two additional reactors; commissioning dates are January 2026 for the first unit and February 2026 for the second.
  • Initial commissioning will occur in Manhattan, Kansas, after which both units will be moved to HydroGraph’s U.S. facilities in Austin, Texas, currently under construction.
  • Long‑term plan includes a broader manufacturing expansion in south Texas, adding more reactors and establishing a dedicated acetylene supply pipeline.
  • CEO Kjirstin Breure emphasized that deploying identical reactor systems “validates the consistency of our process while expanding our ability to meet customer demand as we progress through 2026.”
  • Commissioning prior to permanent installation allows for controlled validation, performance testing, and process optimization before integration into Texas operations.

Notable Quotes

“These additional Hyperion reactors represent another step forward in building scalable, repeatable production capacity for ultra‑pure graphene – a critical step for advancing our graphene’s adoption in large‑scale manufacturing applications,” — Kjirstin Breure, President and CEO.
