Ltd provides onsite hydrogen plants that can produce highly pure hydrogen at a required speed. Various applications for hydrogen generation plants are useful for common people. So, MVS Engineering applies the latest technologies to ensure the smoothest operation of these generators.

Notable uses of hydrogen generators in various sectors

Hydrogen has several physical and chemical properties that are used in many fields. Multiple industries, transportation, and production of energy need dry hydrogen gas. Hence, some common applications of hydrogen generation plants are mentioned below.

Production of electricity – Hydrogen is filled in fuel cells, which are used to generate electricity. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms react together to create water molecules, electrical and heat energy. This simple process can produce a large amount of electricity.

Renewable energy – Hydrogen is a source of renewable energy that can be stored as a backup in many power plants. Since water is available in abundance, green hydrogen can be produced anytime through electrolysis of water.

Reduce carbon footprint – The abundant presence of hydrogen sharply decreases the amount of carbon emitted from vehicles and manufacturing sites. It is possible to achieve the goal of zero carbon emission by using hydrogen as the fuel for driving machines and cars.

Fuel cells for cars – Modern vehicles are designed to be driven by hydrogen cells, which make them more environment-friendly. Hydrogen is now considered the best alternative to fossil fuels, to minimize carbon emissions from cars.

Steel manufacturing industries – Hydrogen is now effectively used as fuel for producing steel. It is also used in industries that deal with other hard metals.

Food processing industries – Hydrogen gas enhances the shelf life of many food products. Hydrogenation makes fats saturated in butter and margarine. It dehydrates some fruits and pulses, extending their shelf life.

Pharmaceutical companies – Hydrogen gas is used for making hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid, which are needed for sterilization and disinfecting medical products. Hydrogenation is important for rendering stability to many pharmaceutical products.

Chemical factories – Several chemicals, like ammonia and methanol, are produced by combining hydrogen with nitrogen or other chemicals. These chemicals are then used in several other industries, making hydrogen a necessity for all these manufacturing units.

Petroleum refineries – Hydrogen reduces the amount of sulfur content in petrol and diesel, making them purer for use.
