It has become one of the major goals of companies like Airox Nigen to decarbonize the planet. In order to achieve this, the focus shifted towards the production of hydrogen that would give rise to green hydrogen
This is because hydrogen is considered to be more sustainable, accessible, efficient, and clean energy.
It is used for different purposes that satisfy the users with the amount of energy required. Therefore, companies like Airox Nigen have decided to set up India’s first 1 MW green hydrogen demo unit in Ahmedabad.
With well-proven electrolysis technology, the company focuses on producing hydrogen with a purity up to 99.9999% achievable.
By harnessing the power of Green Hydrogen, Airox Nigen being the market-leading Alkaline electrolyzers have set up India’s first-ever 1 MW green Hydrogen unit in Ahmedabad.
On the other hand, Airox Nigen is aware of the fact that hydrogen is a dangerous gas to handle. This is why they have taken utmost care of everything and incorporated pressure, temperature, and level transmitters that are controlled by PLC. Besides that, some other equipment, such as rectifiers, motors, pumps, power panels, and Instruments, is also designed to carry out the operation reliably and safely.
How exactly is green hydrogen produced through electrolytes by Airox Nigen?
Airox Nigen, at their site, has installed solar panels (to capture sunlight) that have been generating green hydrogen depending on the utilization of renewable energies to power the electrolysis process. Not to mention, they have been known for their well-proven electrolysis technology. With continuous purity checks and lower power consumption costs, they have about 4000 units working worldwide.
The generator works on a Bipolar pressurized water electrolysis-based system. Each of the electrolyzes is designed for an extra capacity of 10%. The main component of the generator is electrolyzed where water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
Two cells whereby oxygen is generated on anode and hydrogen is generated on the cathode. The electrolyzer is filled with electrolyte mixed with DM water, along with a transformer which is used to change high AC voltage to low AC voltage through the rectifier.
The positive pole is connected with the anode of the electrolyzer, the cathode of the electrolyzer is connected to the negative pole. Once the DC current is passed, the electrolyte gets circulated while the hydrogen and oxygen generated are sent to the hydrogen and oxygen separators.
The electrolyte at the bottom of separators returns by gravity and is pumped back to separators through filtering and cooling processes.
While the hydrogen gas is generated and collected for further use, the oxygen generated is collected for separate use or vented as per need. This hydrogen generated from electrolysis is 99.99% pure and is commonly known as Green Hydrogen.
The hydrogen plant is designed for a pressure of a minimum of 10 barg to a maximum of 30 barg and the capacity of green Hydrogen production is 1MW. In case higher pressure is required, an oil-free diaphragm-type hydrogen booster can be attached.
How important is green Hydrogen?
Green hydrogen is a highly adaptable energy carrier with a high energy density ( MJ / kg ). It is considered as the net-zero fuel source that does not remove oxygen from the atmosphere or add water vapor to it compared to its consumption during production.
