Advanced Measurements for Hydrogen Process Integrity

Electrolysis for hydrogen production

Hydrogen is one of the fastest-growing market segments today. It is one of the key solutions for achieving a net-zero-emissions economy by 2050. Hydrogen is being used to replace traditional fossil fuels in many applications, for example, as fuel for heavy vehicles, as a substitute for natural gas to provide heating, and as a means of storing energy.

Panametrics can play right across the hydrogen value chain, from production and transportation to utilization.

Today, the majority of hydrogen is produced from natural gas via steam methane reforming. This is an energy-intensive process and a significant contributor to global emissions.

A second way to produce hydrogen is to separate water into its constituent parts of hydrogen and oxygen, through a process called electrolysis. If the electrolysis process is powered by renewable energy like solar or wind, you have completely emissions-free hydrogen, or “Green Hydrogen”. Both steam methane reforming and electrolysis processes require sensors to determine the quality of the hydrogen they produce.

This is where Panametrics comes into play. With our sensor technologies, we measure hydrogen purity and impurities such as moisture and oxygen. Reach our team of experts to learn different technology options for the different measurements required, including thermal conductivity for hydrogen purity, electrochemical fuel cell for oxygen, aluminum oxide and laser for moisture.

Moisture Analyzers

The HygroProII is the latest addition to the Panametrics portfolio of market-leading moisture analyzers and transmitters. It is an intrinsically safe, compact, loop-powered display transmitter designed specifically to meet the demands of rugged industrial and hydrocarbon processing applications. It can measure moisture in both gases and hydrocarbon liquids, providing a 4-20 mA output and HART digital communication capability. It uses Panametrics' latest state-of-the-art aluminum oxide moisture sensor, the FX sensor.

MMY30 & MMY31 Moisture transmitter for general purpose. This dew point or ppmv moisture transmitter is ideal for general-purpose applications in gases. It is a cost-effective, loop-powered dew point transmitter designed for "in-line" installation (MMY31) or with an integral flow cell (MMY30) for filtration and flow regulation.

Water Flow Measurement

Water electrolysis is the process of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using an electric current. This process takes place in an electrolyzer, which contains electrodes and an electrolyte. The water flow before getting into the electrolyzer stack can be measured with our clamp-on flowmeters.

The Panametrics AquaTrans AT600 is a liquid clamp-on flowmeter designed to be accurate, durable, and cost-effective. The AT600 combines state-of-the-art flow-measurement capability with a low-cost transmitter package that can be installed directly at the process measurement point. The AT600 has no moving parts and requires minimal maintenance.
