 Technology Overview

The main components of the Hydrogen Generator are:

1. Transformer & Rectifier
Electrolyzer needs DC electrical power at low voltage. So, transformer and rectifier convert this
power as per electrolyzer requirement. In big size hydrogen plants input power to transformer is
at 3.3 KV or 6.6 KV or 11 KV. While in sizes up to 25 NM3/hr, 400 Volts LT power supply is used.

2. Electrolyzer
Our electrolyzer is of Bi-Polar design where high purity DM water is broken to H2 and O2 using
DC power supplied by Rectifier. Hydrogen is evolved on cathode side of cells and Oxygen on
anodes of cells. This design makes the Electrolyzer unit very compact in size. This is a specially
developed cell unit producing gases at high pressure 15 Bar directly. So, no Hydrogen
compressor is needed for medium Hydrogen pressure requirements.

3. H2 & O2 Separator & Washer units

Hydrogen & Oxygen come out separately from cells into Hydrogen separator and Oxygen
separator. These are cooled in heat exchangers by cooling water, separated from electrolyte by
gravity. Then gases are washed by DM water. Finally clean gases come out through demisters
which are located on top of washers.

4. Hydrogen Purification Unit

Hydrogen coming out after H2 washer unit has moisture saturation and around 0.1 to 0.2%
Oxygen impurity. If higher purity is desired, then Hydrogen is passed through a Palladium
Deoxo catalyst unit which reduces oxygen to 1-ppm level.

5. Gas Drying Unit

Then to dry H2 gas, it is passed through a Molecular sieve Dryer unit where moisture of gas is
removed to (-) 60C Dew point. It has thermal regeneration heaters and automatic switchover
Pneumatic valves. This is a No Purge Loss type dryer with no loss of Hydrogen.

6. Gas Analyzers
Online gas analyzers are provided which continuously indicate Hydrogen purity, Hydrogen dew
point, and Oxygen PPM level in Hydrogen gas. In case of purity fall, you get an alarm on the
control panel and the gas plant is shutdown safely.

MVS Hydrogen Generator Features Hydrogen Capacity

Low Power Consumption
Power consumption in our design is
only 4.8 KW per M3 of Hydrogen
Very high purity by using a Deoxo and
dryer unit No purge losses in the dryer
Skid mounted for fast installation and
commissioning
Easy maintenance
The unit is arranged in such a manner
that the cell can be attended to without
dismantling the complete plant.
No Air pollution and No fumes
Electrolyte is in closed cells so no
fumes in the atmosphere. This also
prevents blow off gases and there is no
spillage of electrolyte.
We manufacture following standard sizes:
5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 80, 100, 125, 150, 175
and 200 NM3/hr.
For higher requirements, multiple units
in parallel are supplied.
We also supply lab scale Hydrogen
generators that are very compact and
virtually maintenance free. These are
available in the following standard sizes:
300, 600 cc/min
20, 40 scf/hr

High Degree of Automation Hydrogen Purity Available

Complete operation is by PLC panel
All operating parameters are displayed
on the Touch Screen panel
In case of any abnormality like air failure,
water supply failure or low gas purity, the
Gas plant shuts down automatically and
safely with display alarm on the control
panel.
99.8% with 0.2% oxygen directly
produced from Electrolyzer
99.9999% purity with maximum 1-ppm
oxygen and (-) 60C Dew point is
produced after Deoxo cum dryer
purification system.
