Comprehensive Hydrogen Purity Analysis for PEM Applications

Hydrogen is a key energy carrier in the transition to sustainable energy systems, particularly in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The performance and lifetime of these systems strongly depend on the purity of the hydrogen fuel, as trace impurities can degrade catalysts and membranes, leading to reduced efficiency and potential system failure.

The GAS Hydrogen Purity Analyser provides a fully integrated analytical solution for hydrogen quality control according to ISO 21087 and ISO 14687. By combining gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, the system enables reliable detection of a wide range of impurities at ppb and ppm levels. This ensures accurate monitoring of hydrogen quality during production, storage and distribution.
