HydroGraph Scales up Graphene Capacity with Two New Hyperion Reactors
HydroGraph has begun construction of two additional Hyperion graphene reactors, each capable of producing about 10 tons per year of its FGA‑1 fractal graphene. The reactors, identical in size to the existing unit (6 × 6 × 18 feet), will be commissioned in Manhattan, Kansas, in January and February 2026 before being moved to the company’s new Austin, Texas facility. This expansion adds 20 tons of annual capacity and validates the repeatability of HydroGraph’s explosion‑synthesis process. The move supports a longer‑term plan to build a larger manufacturing hub in south Texas with dedicated acetylene supply.
