H2O and O2 measurements for green hydrogen production

H2O and O2 measurements for green hydrogen production

As energy sources continue to shift, the infrastructure to produce green hydrogen is becoming critical, we developed a solution to help you measure it

Green hydrogen is becoming a viable, clean energy source to support global efforts to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. To meet this ambitious target, rapid, reliable measurement of moisture (H2O) and oxygen (O2) in hydrogen (H2) streams is critical to ensure product quality and process safety.

Benefits

  • Reliable H2O and O2 measurement in green hydrogen production using TDLAS and QF optical analysis technologies

  • Improved safety, process control and hydrogen quality validation during the purification stages

  • Accurate, real-time measurements without interferences

  • Speedy response times for instant protection of downstream equipment

  • No moving parts, no electrolytes and long-lasting optics to enable extremely low maintenance

Hydrogen measurement challenges

Accurate and reliable hydrogen measurement is crucial in various stages of production, especially for green hydrogen derived from renewable sources. Traditional measurement technologies often provide unreliable results and require frequent maintenance. Real-time measurement of water vapor and oxygen content is essential for process efficiency, safety, and compliance. Key measurement points include the outlet of the electrolyzer and trace measurements throughout the hydrogen processing stages.

Hydrogen quality compliance

Hydrogen quality compliance is crucial for the efficient storage of renewable energy. Optical technologies provide reliable H2O and O2 measurements, ensuring purity requirements for hydrogen fuel cells. Sample point 1 (SP1), after phase separation, detects moisture carry-over issues, while excess oxygen indicates membrane degradation. Further processing stages remove contaminants, with final measurements (SP2) confirming purity for compression and sales.

Endress+Hauser’s solution

Endress+Hauser's TDLAS and QF analyzers assure H2O and O2 contaminant removal in your electrolyzer process, delivering high-quality hydrogen. Proven reliability, real-time analysis, and minimal maintenance make them superior to alternatives. These analyzers provide accurate concentration analysis, detect trace moisture and oxygen, and offer easy installation and 24/7 online health monitoring.
