Hydrogen Purification Equipment with Zero Regeneration Consumption | GASPU Solutions
Unlock Continuous, Cost-Efficient High-Purity Hydrogen
GASPU delivers cutting-edge Hydrogen Purification Equipment engineered to eliminate the downtime and operational costs associated with traditional regeneration cycles. Our innovative systems provide continuous, high-purity hydrogen output without regeneration consumption, setting a new standard for efficiency and reliability in hydrogen processing.
Core Technology & Key Features:
-
Revolutionary Regeneration-Free Operation:
- Eliminates Regeneration Costs: Unlike conventional purifiers requiring periodic regeneration (consuming product hydrogen, heat, or purge gas), GASPU's proprietary design operates continuously without this costly phase. This translates to significant savings on operational expenditure (OpEx) and maximizes hydrogen yield.
- Continuous Production: Achieve uninterrupted, 24/7 hydrogen supply critical for demanding industrial processes.
-
Advanced Three-Tower Moisture Removal System:
- Optimized Water Removal: Utilizes a sophisticated configuration of three adsorption towers dedicated to removing water vapor (H₂O) from the hydrogen stream.
- Intelligent Cycling: The PLC control system seamlessly switches the drying towers at precise intervals. While two towers are actively adsorbing moisture, the third undergoes a passive, energy-efficient desorption phase using only waste heat or a small slipstream, eliminating dedicated regeneration gas consumption.
- Stable Dew Point: Ensures consistent output with water content below 5ppm (-76°C dew point).
-
Integrated Catalytic Deoxygenation:
- Employs a high-efficiency palladium-based catalyst to promote the reaction between oxygen (O₂) impurities and hydrogen, forming water vapor:
2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O
.
- The generated water vapor is subsequently removed by the downstream drying towers, achieving oxygen levels below 1ppm.
- The deoxygenation tower operates continuously without regeneration downtime.
-
Robust Safety & Automation:
- Full PLC Control: A sophisticated Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) automates all processes – tower switching, valve sequencing, pressure monitoring, and safety interlocks – ensuring precise, reliable, and hands-off operation. Remote monitoring capabilities are standard.
- Intrinsically Safe Design: All electrical components are certified Ex-type, compliant with stringent international safety standards (IEC, GB, ATEX), specifically designed for safe operation in hydrogen environments (Zone 1/2, Div 1/2).
-
Superior Performance & Reliability:
- Exceptional Purity: Consistently delivers hydrogen gas with <1 ppm O₂ and <5 ppm H₂O, meeting the strictest requirements for applications like electronics manufacturing, metallurgy, and fuel cells.
- High Efficiency: Maximizes hydrogen recovery by avoiding purge losses during regeneration.
- Durability: Engineered for long-term, maintenance-friendly operation in industrial settings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
- Q: What does "without regeneration consumption" actually mean?
- A: Traditional hydrogen dryers require periodic "regeneration" where the saturated adsorbent (like molecular sieves) is cleaned using hot hydrogen purge gas (consuming 10-20% of product) or external heat. GASPU's design eliminates this specific consumption phase entirely for drying, using an intelligent 3-tower cycle that leverages process conditions for desorption without dedicated purge gas.
- Q: How do you achieve <1ppm oxygen without regeneration?
- A: The catalytic deoxygenation process (H₂ + O₂ -> H₂O over Pd catalyst) is inherently continuous. The catalyst does not require regeneration under normal operating conditions. The generated water is removed by the downstream drying towers.
- Q: Is the system truly automated?
- A: Yes. A central PLC controls all critical functions – tower switching sequences, valve operations, pressure safety interlocks, and monitoring. Minimal operator intervention is required.
- Q: What safety standards do you meet?
- A: Our skids are engineered with safety paramount. All electrical equipment complies with explosion-proof standards (IECEx, GBEx, ATEX) for use in hydrogen atmospheres. The design includes pressure relief devices, leak detection provisions (optional), and comprehensive safety logic within the PLC.
- Q: What industries benefit most from this technology?
- A: This equipment is ideal for any industry requiring reliable, high-purity hydrogen without operational waste, including: Petrochemicals (hydrotreating, hydrocracking), Electronics (semiconductor manufacturing), Metallurgy (annealing, reducing atmospheres), Aerospace, Fuel Cell Hydrogen Stations, and Chemical Synthesis.
