Cummins 2.5 MW PEM electrolytic water hydrogen production unit successfully delivered

On December 25, Sinopec's megawatt renewable electricity electrolytic water hydrogen production demonstration project was successfully put into operation in Zhongyuan Oilfield. Cummins provided a 2.5MW container type proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolytic water hydrogen production system to be responsible for the zero carbon green hydrogen production of the project.

Cummins HyLYZER ®- 500 hydrogen production equipment is supplied in container type, and each supporting system is highly integrated in two standard 40 inch containers. The system will use two 1.25 MW electrolytic cells, with a total fixed hydrogen production of 500 Nm ³/ h。 The equipment was successfully settled in the industrial park. After less than two months of intensive installation and completion of various system tests, it has now been officially put into use. Cummins also developed a complete supporting solution for the project to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment.

This is the first 2.5MW level hydrogen production demonstration project by electrolysis of water in Sinopec, and also the largest proton exchange membrane hydrogen production unit that has been launched in China, marking Sinopec's major breakthrough in the field of green hydrogen. The project will integrate the whole chain of solar power, electrolytic hydrogen production, hydrogen purification, storage and transportation and other multiple systems, and build a 3.66MW photovoltaic power station and a 9MW wind power project to provide green kinetic energy for the project to be put into operation.

The project will use "green electricity" to produce "green hydrogen". The whole process will achieve zero carbon emissions. The purity of green hydrogen will reach 99.9995%. The hydrogen produced every day can be used by 106 buses all day, with an annual capacity of nearly 400 tons. This will effectively promote the development of China's hydrogen energy industry and help achieve the goal of "double carbon".

In the past 70 years, Cummins and its affiliated companies have provided more than 600 sets of electrolytic water equipment to the world, including more than 70 sets of PEM electrolytic water equipment, including the world's largest 20MW PEM electrolytic water project in operation, located in Quebec, Canada, with a daily hydrogen production of about 8.2 tons.
