Hydrogen systems commissioning

Preparation for Cell Room Energization. Electrolyzers are isolated from header systems by blanks or slip plates during commissioning of the brine, caustic, chlorine, and hydrogen systems. Immediately before startup of those systems, all blank plates should be removed, leaving only valves closed where it is appropriate to isolate electrolyzers. There should be a record of all blank plates and slip-plates and their locations. This will help to ensure that all are removed before startup.

Written procedures shall be established for commissioning. Procedures shall consider the need to isolate the pipeline from other connected facilities and the transfer of the constructed pipeline to those responsible for its operation. Commissioning procedures, devices, and fluids shall be selected to ensure that nothing is introduced into the pipeline system that will be incompatible with the hydrogen gas to be transported, or with the materials in the pipeline components.

The absorption-isotherm method provides a very useful approach to the study of a gas-solid system. Inflection points in the isotherms locate phase boundaries, and a plot of log P vs. 1/T (Arrhenius plot) permits calculation of heats of solution and estimation of the eutectoid temperature. The shape of the isotherms depends only on those phases which affect the hydrogen absorption, rather than all phases present. The actual phases present were identified by high-temperature x-ray diffraction. The designation of the phases follows terminology commonly used in U. S. Atomic Energy Commission studies ... 

In the material modification due to non-recycling ions in a hydrogen plasma the mobility of the constituents will modify the surface concentrations and influence the erosion of the substrate. These effects can only be investigated in a controlled way using dual ion beam experiments. Such a system is being commissioned at IPP and results for the interaction of different plasma facing materials are expected in the near future. 

Commercial plants The first complete LAC plant, for 1,350-mtd ammonia, has been built for GSFC in India. Two other LAC plants, for 230-and 600-mtd ammonia, were commissioned in Australia. The latest LAC contract is under erection in China and produces hydrogen, ammonia and C02 under import of nitrogen from already existing facilities. There are extensive reference lists for Linde hydrogen and nitrogen plants and Ammonia Casale synthesis systems.
