Description
HYTRON PEM is a modular containerized water electrolyser with a polymer proton-exchange membrane, developed by the manufacturer. The electrolyser uses electricity to split water into hydrogen (the main product) and oxygen (a by-product). PEM technology is fed with ultrapure water and, unlike alkaline electrolysis, provides start-up within seconds, an operating pressure of up to 30 bar against 10 bar, hydrogen purity up to 99.999 % against about 99.5 %, good modularity and a stack service life of about 60 000 hours against 30 000, so it is better suited to operation from unstable renewable sources.
The system includes stacks and a full set of balance-of-plant equipment: power electronics that convert alternating current into direct current for the stacks (a separate Power Cube container with transformers and rectifiers); a thermal management module; a module for cleaning, drying and deoxygenation of hydrogen with continuous gas analysis; a safety module; reverse-osmosis water treatment with resistivity above 10 MΩ·cm; compressed instrument air, cooling water and nitrogen systems for inerting. All pipelines are made of stainless steel 316L, and the control is by PLC with an interface to the cloud platform XPLORE.
The module power ranges from 50 kW to 5 MW, with hydrogen output from 10 to 1000 Nm³/h per module; each 1 MW stack gives up to 200 Nm³/h. The nominal final hydrogen pressure is 30 bar(g) (range 10–30 bar(g)), and the oxygen pressure is 3 bar(g) at 98 % purity. Hydrogen purity is 99.9–99.999 % (grades 3.0–5.0), and with additional polishing up to 6.0, in accordance with SAE J2719 and ISO 14687:2019. The load range is 20/30–100 % depending on module size, the typical availability is 97.2 %, and the system service life is 25 years. Water requirement is 20 l/kg H2, consumption of demineralized water is 10 l/kg H2. The equipment is housed in ISO 20-ft or 40-ft High Cube containers and works at ambient temperatures from −20 to +40 °C; low-noise and high-purity versions are available.
Applications are hydrogen mobility and filling stations, fuel cells, energy storage, ammonia production, fuel hydrotreating, synthetic fuels and industrial heat. The reference is the H2HS project in Gainsberg, with a 2 MW PEM electrolyser and refuelling of fuel-cell buses.
