General information
An important advantage of membrane hydrogen plants consists in their ability to operate under various pressures of separated gas — 10 to 120 atm. Besides, membrane plants, unlike adsorption and cryogenic systems allow easy adjustment of product hydrogen purity. This enables the operator to choose the optimum equipment operation mode depending on the tasks set.
Also, a significant advantage is the complete absence of moving parts in the plant design. This enables the production of exceptionally reliable and simple in operation equipment with full automation, excellent performance characteristics and a very small footprint.
Plants are supplied on a compact skid which minimizes the scope of installation works at the customer site. Where necessary, the plant is fitted with additional process equipment according to the customer requirements. The operational life of hydrogen plants produced by Grasys is 120 to 180 thous. hours of continuous operation.
