Our newly developed, independently researched and developed PEM water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment can achieve hydrogen production rates ranging from 0.5 m³/h to 1,000 m³/h, with a hydrogen production efficiency of up to 78%–84% and a hydrogen purity of up to 99.999%.

The independently developed hydrogen production system management system for water electrolysis achieves automatic control of parameters such as electrolyzer pressure, temperature, liquid level, and alarm interlocks, effectively safeguarding the operation of the electrolyzer and extending its service life by more than 300%.

 

 

Innovation Highlights of Xingran’s PEM Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Production Technology:

1. The ordered membrane electrode technology developed by Xingran significantly enhances catalyst utilization, increasing the active surface area by more than 50% compared to conventional membrane electrodes. By employing an array of catalysts, it also improves electron conductivity. As a result, energy consumption has been reduced from 4.8 kWh/m³ to 4.2 kWh/m³, representing an efficiency improvement of 11%. Moreover, its resistance to high-potential corrosion enables the electrolyzer to operate normally at higher potentials.

2. The core component, the PEM electrolyzer, adopts a zero-gap design, increasing overall efficiency from 73% to 84%. While maintaining strong sealing performance, this design also enhances assembly efficiency. The uniformity of water flow within the electrolyzer has been optimized, effectively improving the utilization rate of the membrane electrode. Additionally, the service life has been extended from 20,000 hours to 60,000 hours.
