Membranes for PEM Water Electrolysis (Pemwe)

The PEM water electrolysis application has been developed into a technology meeting the demand of highly efficient green Hydrogen production in MW-scale. The central part of the technology is the membrane that serves as ion conductor and at the same time also as electrode separator. The fumasep proton-exchanged-membranes for water electrolysis are tailored to the demand of high efficiency. The membranes are available typically with reinforcement, enabling and adoption of the membrane to a large cell format and reducing the swelling of membrane. The FS-membranes are made from short-side-chain PFSA polymer. These membranes facilitate the HHV (higher-heat-value) efficiency as high as 85 % at current density 2 A/cm2. The membranes feature particularly low swelling ratio and superior strength properties.

Membranes for Alkaline Water Electrolysis (Awe)

The alkaline water electrolysis application ranks among the oldest electrochemical processes having well-matured system’s design. The progress since 2010 allowed significant improvement to that-time state-of-the-art technology. The central part of the units is the fumasep anion-exchanged-membrane FAAM that facilitates the increase of pressure difference. The membrane supports also the enhancing of absolute operational pressure, helping users to optimize Hydrogen production in MW scale. The FAAM membrane features reduction of the potential, too, which yields higher HHV (higher-heat-value) efficiency at increased current density compared to the porous separators. The FAAM membranes are available typically with reinforcement, enabling adoption of the membrane to a large cell format and reducing the swelling of membrane.

Gas-To-Gas Humidification Membranes

The key factor of the efficiency, power density and long-term durability of fuel cell stacks is heat and water management. The water management of the fuel cell is usually controlled by adjusting the humidity at the cathode inlet. A membrane-based humidification systems use produced water alongside depleted air on cathode outlet to humidify the gas on the inlet. In this way, the humidifier exchanges the process water within the loop of the fuel cell. Fumatech offers flat sheet membranes for gas-to-gas humidification. The fumasep® flat sheet membranes are of interest for larger systems in the power range 50 kW onwards. The flat membranes offer the possibility of integrated, efficient, and space-saving humidifier systems that allow a high degree of freedom in design, operating mode, and membrane area utilization.
