Hydrograph begins construction of two graphene reactors

Executive Summary

• Hydrograph Clean Power Inc. has commenced construction of two additional Hyperion graphene reactors to expand its production capacity.
• Each new reactor is expected to produce approximately 10 tons per year of FGA-1 ultrapure fractal graphene using the company's proprietary explosion-synthesis process.
• The reactors are scheduled for commissioning in January and February 2026 in Manhattan, Kan., before being relocated to Hydrograph’s facilities under construction in Austin, Tex.

Key Details

• Construction Status: Commenced construction of two additional Hyperion reactors.
• Production Capacity: Each reactor has an expected capacity of approximately 10 tons per year of FGA-1 ultrapure fractal graphene.
• Technical Specifications: Reactors utilize the proprietary explosion-synthesis process and share the same physical footprint as the existing commercial unit (approximately 6 feet by 6 feet by 18 feet).
• Timeline:
  • Commissioning expected in January and February 2026.
  • Initial commissioning location: Manhattan, Kan.
  • Final relocation target: Austin, Tex. facilities (currently under construction).
• Strategic Context: Initial commissioning allows for controlled validation, performance testing, and process optimization prior to integration into Texas operations.
• Long-term Strategy: The company intends to commence a broader manufacturing expansion in south Texas, supporting a larger number of reactors and a dedicated acetylene supply via pipeline.

Notable Quotes

• "These additional Hyperion reactors represent another step forward in building scalable, repeatable production capacity for ultrapure graphene -- a critical step for advancing our graphene's adoption in large-scale manufacturing applications," said Kjirstin Breure, president and chief executive officer of Hydrograph. "By deploying identical reactor systems, we continue to validate the consistency of our process while expanding our ability to meet customer demand as we progress through 2026."
