A zero-carbon fuel, green hydrogen, is hydrogen generated using renewable energy, such as wind, solar and hydropower. Renewable energy sources power the electrolysis of water, which splits hydrogen from oxygen. The green hydrogen is then used as a fuel source, and the oxygen is released into the atmosphere with no negative impact on the environment.
Sealing solutions play a crucial role in green hydrogen production, ensuring the efficient and safe operation of electrolyzers, as well as of renewable energy technologies. Advanced seal materials are utilized to meet the demanding requirements of green hydrogen production.
The seals used in these applications must exhibit high chemical resistance, withstand aggressive environments, and provide leak-free performance. Our sealing solutions support the hydrogen production industry by enhancing productivity, minimizing energy losses, and ensuring the integrity of the production systems, ultimately supporting the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.
Electrolysis Equipment
Seals in electrolysis equipment play a critical role in ensuring efficiency, maintaining the separation of hydrogen and oxygen gases and protecting hardware from electrochemical attacks. This equipment typically operates at temperatures +50 °C to +100 °C/+122 °F to +212 °F and pressures up to 80 bar/1,160 psi.
