MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617057892 A) filed by Stiesdal Hydrogen As on May 07, 2026, for Alkaline Electrolyser And A Method For Its Operation.
Inventors include Stiesdal, Henrik; Gellrich, Florian; and Voigt, Niels Vinter.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: An alkaline electrolyzer comprising a stack (17) of electrolytic cells (1) for producing hydrogen gas (8). Each of the cathode compartments (5) comprises a cathode gas outlet (23A) into a cathode electrolyte return conduit (28), the downstream end (41) of which is connected to a hydrogen purifier (33) configured for providing purified hydrogen gas by removing oxygen from the gas received from the cathode electrolyte return conduit (28). A cathode gas recirculation system (38) connects a downstream end of the hydrogen purifier (32, 33) to an upstream end (40) of the cathode electrolyte return conduit (28) for supplying purified hydrogen gas to the cathode electrolyte return conduit (28). Each of the anode compartments (6) comprises an anode gas outlet (23B) into an anode electrolyte return conduit (28), the downstream end (41) of which is connected to an oxygen purifier (33) which removes hydrogen from the gas coming from the anode electrolyte return conduit (28). An anode gas recirculation system (38) connects a downstream end (41) of the oxygen purifier (33) to an upstream end (40) of the anode electrolyte return conduit (28) for supplying purified oxygen gas to the anode electrolyte return conduit (28). Hereby the electrolyzer can be operated at part load, for example below 10% of the nominal load.
