Performance.
YBG Industrial transforms engineering insight into practical implementation — through advanced combustion technologies, process integration and industrial optimisation systems.
Engineering begins with understanding.
Every implementation is preceded by analysis. Before an intervention reaches an operating asset, the thermodynamic behaviour of that asset must be understood on its own terms — as it actually runs, not as it was originally specified.
That analytical layer is where YBG Global operates. YBG Global discovers the opportunity; YBG Industrial engineers the solution. The two are sequential, not parallel — and the discipline of the sequence is what makes the engineering credible.
YBG Industrial takes the engineered baseline established upstream and turns it into deployed hardware, integrated controls, commissioned systems and validated performance.
Thermodynamic diagnostics. Historian-derived baselining. Opportunity identification.
ControlAlign™ — Measure & Verify →Engineering, integration, commissioning and validation of the intervention on the operating asset.
Six engineering routes into an operating thermal asset.
On-demand industrial oxyhydrogen as a combustion-adjacent intervention. No fuel switching, no bulk H₂ storage.
Engineered application of mixed oxyhydrogen as a combustion enhancer in industrial boilers, kilns, and furnaces.
Burner tuning, air-fuel ratio management and flame characterisation against the engineered baseline.
Physical integration into legacy boilers, furnaces and kilns without disturbing the primary control architecture.
Interfacing with plant DCS, burner management systems and utility loops under audit-grade change control.
Structured evaluation pathway for emerging combustion and thermal-efficiency technologies as they mature.
Industrial oxyhydrogen, engineered as a subordinated intervention.
HydroHub™ is the mature form of YBG Industrial's combustion-enhancement engineering. On-demand oxyhydrogen is generated at point of use and injected into the combustion zone as a subordinated, rate-controlled companion to the primary fuel.
The engineering philosophy is deliberately conservative. Fully interlocked with the host burner management system. No bulk hydrogen or oxygen storage. No modification of the primary fuel handling, steam circuit or control architecture. Rate-limited operation with an audit-grade safety case.
Results are measured, not asserted — against an engineered pre-deployment baseline, using YBG's standard Measurement and Verification protocol. Site-specific outcomes depend on combustion architecture and feedstock.
A staged engagement, from assessment through to long-cycle support.
Site walk-down, historian review, baseline scoping.
Skid layout, injection geometry, interlock architecture.
Mechanical install, control tie-ins, BMS interfacing.
Cold and hot commissioning, safety validation, tuning.
M&V against the engineered baseline. Independent instrumentation where required.
Long-cycle operational support and performance monitoring.
Heavy industry. Utility-scale thermal assets.
Engineered to industrial safety standards.
Every deployment is scoped, designed and commissioned under the safety expectations of the host asset — not adjacent to them. Interlocks are integrated, not appended.
Design conforms to applicable industrial and pressure-system codes for the host jurisdiction.
Physically and logically interlocked with the host burner management system. Fail-safe by design.
HAZOP-style review as part of the engineering package prior to commissioning.
Change management, operator training and documentation aligned to plant compliance regime.

Four decades. One direct line to the technology's origin.
Industrial oxyhydrogen combustion enhancement traces to the original research of Yull Brown, whose work in electrolysis-based gas generation began the field. YBG Group's engagement with this technology is not academic or licensed at a distance — it is direct. Founder Dr. Peter Griffiths worked alongside Yull Brown from 1985 to 1998, engineering the technology hands-on during its formative industrial applications.
That lineage has continued, unbroken, for four decades — through the same engineering discipline, the same combustion-science foundation, applied now to utility-scale thermal assets across coal, gas, cement, and industrial steam generation.
Average steam-to-fuel ratio improvement — ten-plant deployment across seven Indian states, verified by the client's own engineering teams under real production and variable-load conditions.
NOx reduction documented across a ten-plant biomass-fired steam fleet, published in a joint UIBC / Nangia Andersen report issued under NTPC's imprint.
Baseline measurement, pilot deployment, and verification before any scale-up commitment.
Industrial oxyhydrogen at utility scale is still an early-stage field, industry-wide — no vendor, YBG included, currently operates an integrated system above 100 TPH equivalent capacity. Where YBG's lineage matters is in what that absence of precedent actually rests on: forty years of direct, hands-on engineering discipline, not four years of a company entering a trend.
HydroHub™ — the direct answers
- What is HydroHub™?
- HydroHub™ is YBG Industrial's on-demand Industrial Oxyhydrogen platform. It generates an oxyhydrogen gas stream by alkaline electrolysis and introduces it into an existing combustion environment — a boiler, furnace or kiln — as a combustion-adjacent intervention. It is not a fuel substitute and does not replace the primary fuel; it modifies flame chemistry and radiative heat transfer so that more of the fuel's energy reaches the process.
- What results has HydroHub™ Industrial Oxyhydrogen achieved?
- Across a ten-plant biomass-fired steam fleet deployed in seven Indian states, the documented record is a 13% average steam-to-fuel ratio improvement, a 60% NOx reduction measured at instrumented stacks, and a payback period under two years per site. The deployment is cited institutionally in the UIBC / Nangia Andersen "Modern Energy" report. Results are site-specific and established through baseline studies and Measurement & Verification protocols, not generalised guarantees.
- Is HydroHub™ the same as HHO?
- The equipment class is sometimes searched for as "HHO". That term is hobby-level shorthand and is not used in engineering specification. Industrial Oxyhydrogen describes continuous-duty, instrumented, safety-interlocked generation designed for utility and process-plant service, with defined gas purity, flow control and shutdown logic.
- What industries does YBG Industrial serve?
- Coal and gas thermal power, cement, steel, glass, mining, chemical processing, waste-to-energy, and FMCG process heat and utilities — any operator running continuous fired thermal assets where fuel cost, thermal efficiency or emissions compliance is material.
- Is Industrial Oxyhydrogen an established or a new technology?
- Both, depending on scale. The underlying combustion-enhancement work has four decades of engineering history and a documented multi-site industrial deployment record. At utility scale the field remains early-stage industry-wide: no vendor, YBG included, currently operates an integrated system above 100 TPH equivalent capacity. That is why engagements are staged — baseline measurement, pilot deployment, then verification before any scale-up commitment.

Discovery upstream. Engineering downstream.
Engage YBG Industrial once the opportunity is defined. The engineering engagement is staged — assessment, design, integration, commissioning, validation, support — with no capital at risk until the intervention is engineered.
