From Water Quality to Cell Integrity: A Comprehensive PEM Stack Forensics Study
Electrolyzer System Integrator / System Provider: The challenge
An industrial customer sought an independent second opinion on purchased and stored PEM electrolyzer stacks prior to installation in its electrolysis systems
FEV e+r: Our involvement and solution
- Onsite inspection and optical analysis of 40x MW PEM-EL stacks
- Photographic documentation of each stack
- Endoscopic analysis and inspection of the anode and cathode ports
- DI water sampling for detailed lab analysis with electrical conductivity, pH value, anion content, particles, etc.
- Detailed reporting and documentation of the inspection and provision of a detailed anomaly report per stack
- Engineering assessment and anomaly analyses as well as creation of meta data and statistical evaluation
