HIAD Facility - Application: Water Electrolysis
This incident occurred at the electrolyzer of a refuelling station. An employee of the electrolyzers manufacturer was on-site to conduct a reset of the plant power breaker system and to restart gas…
An explosion occurred a the Lurgi electrolysis unit of a chemical factory. The plant suffered extensive damage and one man died. The electrolysis plant produced hydrogen for process use and oxygen as…
A hydrogen gas holder exploded.It is assumed that there was diaphragm leak in the hydrogen-oxygen electrolytic cell used to produce high purity hydrogen for a pharmaceutical hydrogenation.
An explosion occurs in the oxygen gas holder in an electrolysis plant. The explosion is due to the entry of hydrogen in the oxygen gas holder.The dome of the gas holder and the collar were blown away.
The hydrogen buffer tanks that exploded were part of an experimental facility experimenting generation of renewable hydrogen from a water electrolyzer coupled to solar panels.The three hydrogen tanks…
The incident consisted of a leakage of potassium hydroxide solution (KOH) from an alkaline electrolyzer in a renewable hydrogen production plant. One webpage news reported that smoke formation…
The accidental hydrogen release occurred when testing the storage system connected to a PEM electrolyzer. The leak test consisted in filling the storage with hydrogen at step-wise increase of…
The incident occurred during the verification operation of a new high pressure hydrogen generator. The electrolysis cell burned down, the pipes of the oxygen circuit burst and the peripheral…
