Principle

Electrolysis of water is the decomposition of water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen gas (H2) due to an electric current being passed through the water.

Process

An electrical power source is connected to two electrodes, or two plates (typically made from some inert metal such as platinum or stainless steel) which are placed in the water. In a properly designed cell, hydrogen will appear at the cathode (the negatively charged electrode, where electrons enter the water), and oxygen will appear at the anode (the positively charged electrode). Assuming ideal faradic efficiency, the amount of hydrogen generated is twice the number of moles of oxygen, and both are proportional to the total electrical charge conducted by the solution.

Design Features

The system is modular in design and very compact.It is properly instrumented and automatically controlled by industrial grade PLC / Microprocessor system. Color touch screen display HMI ( Human Machine Interface) shows all the parameters and alarms. The control system is realized following a "fail safe" technology in order to maximize plant safety. Plant design and construction comply all relevant international standards and E.C directives
