Produce low-carbon hydrogen with enhanced safety, efficiency, and control

Hydrogen Electrolysis

Hydrogen electrolysis is central to decarbonization efforts across industrial sectors. As facilities scale from pilot to full production, maintaining safe operations, reliable uptime, and energy-efficient performance becomes increasingly critical. Integrated automation, precision measurement, and advanced valve technologies provide the visibility and control needed to support the production of green hydrogen at scale.

Automation Strategies for Sustainable Hydrogen Production

Optimize Electrolyzer Performance Across the Lifecycle

From process control and flow management to safety compliance and leak detection, electrolysis systems require coordinated, high-performance technologies. Real-time diagnostics, fugitive emissions reduction, and energy monitoring tools help operators manage complex variables, reduce operational costs, and ensure compliance across hydrogen production processes.

Solutions for Every Scale of Hydrogen Production

Hydrogen Electrolysis Solutions in Action

Whether deploying containerized units or multi-megawatt plants, hydrogen producers rely on scalable systems that deliver performance and reliability. Flow, pressure, and temperature control are essential to maintaining safe reaction environments. Integrated platforms enhance visibility while supporting regulatory compliance and asset longevity.

Improve Safety and Process Stability

Hydrogen is used in the manufacture of two important chemical compounds, ammonia and methanol. Therefore, hydrogen is considered a building block to fertilizer made from ammonia and polymers made from methanol.

No. Millions of tons of hydrogen are used in the industry, but not all hydrogen produced today can be considered carbon neutral. Blue and green hydrogen are the two key low-CO2 alternatives and they could replace carbon-intensive grey hydrogen, which represents 95% of the hydrogen production today.

Automation technologies increase the capacity, reliability, and efficiency of electrolyzers -- and with them the potential of a green hydrogen economy -- in several ways, from handling fluctuating power loads to measuring and controlling water flow with greater precision to using digital analytics for energy management applications. Automation can also improve safety, equipment lifespan and regulatory compliance while lowering materials and workforce costs. 

Hydrogen is not only a key enabler to become net-zero for the industry, but also an important opportunity for chemical companies to generate new sustainable revenue streams. Chemical companies can leverage their strong global assets, interlinked supply chains, existing sales and distribution, and hands-on engineering knowledge to shift to a more sustainable portfolio using cleaner and more sustainable resources.
