Hydrogen production
Quick summary
Hydrogen production is the conversion of a hydrogen-bearing feedstock — water in electrolysis — into hydrogen gas.
- Electrolytic production consumes purified water and electricity.
- Oxygen is the co-product of water electrolysis.
- The route chosen determines the contaminant set to control.
Definition
Hydrogen production is the conversion of a hydrogen-bearing feedstock — water in electrolysis — into hydrogen gas.
Purity
Purity is a function of feedstock treatment, cell chemistry and downstream drying.
Production
Planning covers nominal output, turn-down, water treatment, electrical supply and ventilation.
Applications
Serves industrial combustion duty and consumer modality duty separately.
