Elessent Clean Technologies Unveils Brink® ezSEP™ Solution for Green Hydrogen Producers

Green Hydrogen Production: A Clean Process with Separation Hurdles

Green hydrogen production relies on electrolyzers, devices that use electricity to separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. While the core process is clean, challenges arise in efficiently separating and purifying the hydrogen output. Traditional methods often struggle with water vapor carried over from the electrolysis process, impacting downstream equipment and overall efficiency.

Introducing Brink® ezSEP™: A Game-Changer for Green Hydrogen Separation

Elessent's Brink® ezSEP™ tackles this hurdle head-on. This high-efficiency separation system boasts the ability to recover over 99% of liquid from the product gas streams. Eli Ben-Shoshan, CEO of Elessent, aptly states, "Specifically designed to boost efficiency and performance in electrolyzer operations, this tailored solution will transform what is possible in the market."

The Power of Innovation: Unveiling the Advantages of Brink® ezSEP™

The secret lies in Brink® ezSEP™'s innovative design. Unlike conventional systems, it utilizes world-renowned Brink® mist eliminators. These ingenious filters capture water particles as small as one micron in diameter, significantly exceeding the capabilities of traditional methods. This meticulous separation translates into several key benefits for green hydrogen producers.

  • Reduced Water Consumption and Optimized Performance: Brink® ezSEP™ minimizes makeup water and electrolyte consumption. Excess water in the system can lead to inefficiencies and require additional treatment. By capturing these water droplets, the system optimizes performance and reduces the amount of fresh water and electrolytes needed. This translates to cost savings and a more environmentally friendly operation.

  • Extending the Lifespan of Downstream Equipment: Water droplets can damage delicate components in driers and other equipment used in the hydrogen production process. By removing these droplets upfront, Brink® ezSEP™ safeguards these components, minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring smoother operation.

  • Enhanced Efficiency Through Reduced Energy Consumption: Traditional separation methods often require additional energy for processes like reheating dried gas streams. By achieving superior separation from the outset, Brink® ezSEP™ optimizes energy usage, making green hydrogen production even more sustainable.

Real-World Impact: Brink® ezSEP™ Transforming the Green Hydrogen Industry

The applications of Brink® ezSEP™ extend across various green hydrogen projects. With a proven track record of success in over 3 gigawatts of green hydrogen projects globally, the system is demonstrably transforming the industry. Early adopters are reaping the benefits of this innovative solution, experiencing significant cost savings, reduced maintenance needs, and enhanced operational reliability.
