January 2021

Contract received:  planning, building and commission of a production plant to deliver up to 15 kg / day 95 % Rocket Grade Hydrogen Peroxide (RGHTP) for rocket propulsion applications. Due to more stringent safety requirements of 95 % HTP,  a - compared to the production of 90 % HTP - different process technology will be used.  

For further information  please visit section 'January 2021'.

 

 

November 2020

Process development completed: during the last 18 months several requests with respect to plants delivering ultra-pure, nearly anhydrous 99.5 % HTP to be used for example in high performance, in-space applications were received.

Oktober 2015

WEPA-Technologies did complete in October commissioning of a H2O2 concentrator plant for an EU customer.

The capacity of the plant is about 50 kg / 24 h (90 - 91 % H2O2) starting with 60 % H2O2 – fully automatic, unattended operation is possible.

Process technology to deliver up to 98 % is under development  and will be available by late 2016. Safe and fully automatic, 24 h operability are key features of the plants.

December 2014

To support joint development activities of WEPA-Technologies and their partners Dresden University of Technology (Institute of Aerospace Engineering / Chair of Space Systems) and FAR, the availability of test sites for technology evaluation purposes is necessary.

The military proving ground close to the city of  Baumholder / Germany seems to be ideal due to its topography and vast area of 119 km2.

In order to better define boundary conditions required to permit frequent testing, on December 08th a technical information day including flight demonstrations of small research rockets and static testing of rocket engines has been conducted.
