Production of hydrogen

Ultrapure water is indispensable for the production of hydrogen. For the preparation of this ultrapure water, various high-quality water treatments are necessary. We have all these water treatment technologies in our range.

What is hydrogen and how do we make hydrogen?

Hydrogen is produced with ultrapure water. This water is completely free of salts and has a very low conductivity. The basis is usually drinking water that is treated in three ways. First, a softener removes limescale from the water. Next, an active carbon filter removes the chlorine in the water. Then, using reverse osmosis (RO) and EDI(electro-deionisation), the salts are removed. The steps are shown below.

Water softening is essential. Hard water can cause problems in pipes, fittings and installations.

Pompen

Met behulp van een drukverhogingsinstallatie, ook wel hydrofoorinstallatie wordt druk gehouden op de waterleidingen en installaties.

Element van waterbehandelingsinstallatieOntgasser

De ontgassers van Grünbeck zorgen voor een vermindering van koolstofdioxide in het grondwater.

Omgekeerde Osmose

 

Osmose water is ideaal voor de productie van stoom, ketelvoedingswater, proceswater en CV-water.

 

Elektro de-ionisatie

Ultrapuur water ontstaat door gedemineraliseerd water nog verder te zuiveren door middel van een moderne technologie waarbij gebruik wordt gemaakt van membraantechnologie.

 

Mixed bed filter

Om de geleidbaarheid van gedemineraliseerd water te verlagen, ook wel ‘polishing’ genoemd, is een extra nabehandeling van een mixed bed filter nodig. Een alternatief of extra stap voor EDI.

UV-desinfectie

Onze ultraviolet installaties zijn perfect voor het desinfecteren van water. De UV-installatie werkt nog beter in combinatie met bijvoorbeeld een ultrafiltratie.

Optimal adjustment of the water treatment of hydrogen

Before water is split into hydrogen and oxygen, all ions must be removed from the water. Grünbeck has extensive experience in manufacturing and assembling installations that turn water into ion-free, ultrapure water. As a result, we know exactly which application is right for your organisation, situation and process. We are also experienced in polishing water (in partial flow) in the electrolysis units. This is possible up to temperatures of 80°C. Often the recycling flow of hydrogen production is generated via mixed bed cartridges. These remove the impurities and keep the water ultrapure. We connect these techniques mechanically and electrically. In this way, all components communicate with each other so that the entire process is optimally regulated from start to finish. This prevents many breakdowns on site, partly because we always test the combinations before they leave our factory.

Our water treatment, your solution

Each of our water treatment systems is unique and extensively tested before it leaves the production site. This means that it is fully adapted to the application in your organisation and guaranteed to work.

 

In this way, we help you to get the best out of your product, your process or your service. The only thing left to do after delivery is to connect the water supply and plug it in.

Wateronthardingsinstallatie voor het ontharden van grondwater voor de industrie

Our water treatment installations often start with an industrial water softener. Pipes, fittings and installations last much longer when using a water softener. Choose a Grünbeck system and you’ll also be saving water and resources thanks to its low energy and salt consumption.

De-ironed water is better for the process, extends the life, and reduces malfunctions and defects in basically everything that this water is added to. Our deferrisation installations filter out not only iron, but also manganese and other undesirable odours and substances.

Thanks to its pure nature, demineralised water is ideal for the production of steam, boiler feed water, process water and central heating water. To demineralise water, we use reverse osmosis, or RO for short.


Waterbehandelingsinstallatie voor ultrapuur water (EDI)

Ultrapure water is created by further purifying or polishing water by means of EDI, also known as electro-deionisation. This sterile water is extremely suitable for high-pressure steam boilers and for the petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries.


Waterontharden voor thuis
In addition to water treatment for industry, we also soften water for people at home. The softliQ is the water softener that thinks for you and automatically adjusts itself to your water consumption at home. The innovative technology, with refined, low-maintenance materials, is packaged in a stylish, sleek design.

Other Grünbeck water treatment applications​

Besides hydrogen treatment, we also offer applications for boiler water treatment, cooling water treatment, process water treatment and rinse water treatment. Each of our water treatment systems is unique and is extensively tested before leaving the production site. This means that it is fully adapted to your organisation’s application and guaranteed to work.

In order to counteract the negative effects of corrosion, scaling and biofilm formation, it may be necessary to chemically modify the properties of the water in addition to the mechanical pre-treatment.

You want to be sure that your cooling water system functions properly during the production process. After all, this is the only way to achieve optimal production. Grünbeck offers tailor-made solutions for closed cooling systems and open cooling systems.


Waterbehandeling voor proceswater van Grünbeck Waterbehandeling

Each type of process water makes its own demands on the water and thus on the required water treatment. From de-ironing, softening, ultra-filtration and reverse osmosis (RO) to electro-deionisation (EDI), UV disinfection and/or an adjusted dosage.

Softening, de-ironing and demineralising are techniques we use to treat drinking water and/or well water. All three techniques remove undesirable substances from the water and make the water suitable for use as rinse water, either separately or in combination.
