Process Description of the Pressurized Water Electrolysis System
The hydrogen Generator offered By Airox Nigen is based on Bipolar Pressurized Water Electrolysis Based System. The
Electrolyser can be operated at a pressure of from 10 - 32 barg. Each electrolyser is designed for a capacity 10 % extra of
desired final hydrogen flow. The Main equipment of hydrogen generator is electrolyser, in which, water is decomposed into hydrogen
and oxygen through electrolysis, and the equation is : 2H2O >>>> 2 H2+O2
1. The cell of electrolyser is divided into anode cell and cathode cell.
Once the DC current is passed in the elctrolyser while the electrolyte is being circulated the hydrogen and Oxygen are
generated and are sent hydrogen and oxygen separators.
In the Separators the hydrogen and oxygen are separated with electrolyte due to gravity and the electolyte come down .
The pressure in the system is raised due to accumalated gas and is maintained at a set pressure by means of regulating
valve.
The electrolyte at the bottom of hydrogen and oxygen separators by gravity comes back and is pumped back to electrolyser
after filtering and cooling, to complete the process cycle.
While THe hydrogen gas is generated and is collected for further use , the Oxygen generated can also be collected for use
seprately or allowed to be vented.
The DM Water ( pressurised )is continously fed to the Gas Sepration Skid enabling make up of Dm water used while
generation.
The Hydrogen Generated from electrolyser Is of 99.9 % pure and can be used for most of the applications.
For higher purity, Hydrogen Purification is provided by which Hydrogen of 99.999% and a Dew Point of (-) 70°C can be
achieved.
Our Hydrogen Plant can be designed for a pressure of minimum 10 barg to a maximum of 30 barg. In case a higher pressure
is required, an oil-free diaphgram type hydrogen booster can be provided.

Nitrogen purge is done if the plant was in shutdown condition for a long time This is in order to drive all the air from the
system before hydrogen is permitted to enter. The program first checks what are called the Nitrogen Purge Start-Up
Conditions i.e. the electrolyte levels, pressure and temperature are checked before the purge of the system can be started
The conditions for nitrogen purge are different to those of hydrogen production due to the difference in the gases. Once a
specific volume of nitrogen, enough to entirely purge the system has entered, the system progresses to the next stage, of
Hydrogen Production.
Before hydrogen production can begin and send for further purification and compression , the nitrogen in the system has to
be replaced with hydrogen gas by process called the Hydrogen Purge.
Once the hydrogen production is initialized and the purity required is achieved then the hydrogen is sent further
for consumption. or if higher purity is required then it First goes to The Purification System and if higher pressure is required
then it goes to The Booster Compressor, before it is send for consumption.
During normal operation all the parameters are continuously monitored and recorded. parameters like pressure ,temperature,
electrolyte flow rate, electrolyte level, DM waterquality ,purity of gas at dryer exit is all recorded and ensured that the gas and
the equipment does not goes off specifications.

System shut down can be performed whenever the plant is not needed to be operated. The shut down can be
Normal shut down wherein you need to restart the system in a day or two.
Long shut down – wherein you do not need to use the plant for a longer time and then you need to purge out hydrogen from
system and purge in nitrogen to keep it in safe shut down condition.
As Hydrogen is a dangerous gas to handel, we In order to meet the high safety requirements, design our system with utmost care and
have incorporated Pressure, Temperature and Level Transmitters controlled by PLC.
Pressure control - In normal operation, the control system monitors the pressure value, compares it with the set values, once the
measured value crosses the set value, there will be a alarm signal enabling the operator to tackle the problem. If the problem is not
solved timely and the pressure increases continuously, a High High Pressure signal come from the Overridding pressure transmitter
which is interlocked to the rectifier and stops the rectifier to stop the generation of hydrogen. Considering the reliability, the signals for
alarming and interlocking come from different instruments.
Temperature control - The temperature control is important and critical as well, the temperature is also monitored by PLC, when the
temperature overpasses the set value, it will alarm, when the temperature is higher than required, the control system will interlock the
rectifier and open the regulation valve of cooling water to maximum position to reduce the temperature rapidly.
Level control - The control system compares the measured values of hydrogen and oxygen level with their set values, once the values
are beyond of the set ranges, the control system will alert the operator to tackle the problems, if the problems are not solved timely, the
rectifier which is interlocked will trip . The Alarms and interlocks of level prevents the generation of explosive mixture of H2-O2 .
All other equipments like PLC , Rectifier , Power Panel , Motors , Pumps ,Instruments etc are adequately designed for reliable
and safe operation.
