The purification system for water electrolysis hydrogen production is designed to remove trace impurities from hydrogen and oxygen, ensuring the quality of these gases meets user requirements. The system consists of two main parts: deoxidation and temperature swing adsorption (TSA), and dehydrogenation and TSA. It employs a patented three-tower lossless drying process with composite bed packing in the adsorption towers. The system operates at lower regeneration temperatures, saving over 20% in electricity consumption, and can handle gas volumes ranging from 20 to 50,000 Nm³/h, making it particularly suitable for "multi-to-one" cluster electrolyzers.
