Bhabha Atomic Research Centre is offering alkaline water electrolyser plant technology for a technology fee of Rs 10 lakhs ($13,600) plus a royalty of 2 percent.
The machine is of a design that can produce on-demand, on-site production of hydrogen and oxygen at a capacity of 10 Nm3/hr Hydrogen and 5 Nm3/hr Oxygen.
The alkaline water electrolyser plant consist of a compact, zero gap, bipolar type configuration cell module stack with high current density porous nickel electrodes. The product gases at the stack exit are conditioned and purified to meet the specific user demands. Demineralised water, electricity and chilled water are the only inputs required for the operation of this plant. The plant is capable of producing high quality hydrogen and oxygen gases and has yielded good performance in sustained long duration operations. The process can be easily scaled up or scaled down to suit the user requirements, BARC says.
Further details can be had from BARC website, linked above.
However, one wonders if there would be any takers for alkaline electrolysers, given that PEM is much better in terms of energy efficiency.
