Abstract
An ion separator is used to produce a stream of positively charged electrolytes and another stream of negatively charged electrolytes with adequate potential difference between the two streams. Short-circuiting these two streams in gas generation chambers produces hydrogen and oxygen gases. This setup of equipment is assembled as a containerized hydrogen and oxygen production cell. An x-y grid layout of many containerized hydrogen and oxygen production cells is used to outline a scalable plant for manufacturing oxygen and green hydrogen in large quantities.
Claims19
An x-y laid-out plant, built with hydrogen and oxygen production cells comprising ion separators, electrolyte tanks, pumps, electrolyte pipes, gas generation chambers, hydrogen hoses, oxygen hoses, hydrogen feeder pipes, and oxygen feeder pipes, and utilizing these components to produce hydrogen and oxygen by sending electrolyte into an ion separator to produce positively charged electrolyte stream and negatively charged electrolyte stream and then pumping the positively charged electrolyte stream through a first set of a number of gas generation chambers and simultaneously pumping the negatively charged electrolyte stream through a second set of the same number of gas generation chambers, with each gas generation chamber in the first set paired with and electrically connected to another gas generation chamber in the second set, resulting in hydrogen generation from the gas generation chambers carrying positively charged electrolyte and oxygen generation from the gas generation chambers carrying the negatively charged electrolyte, and sending the hydrogen into hydrogen feeder pipes, and the oxygen into oxygen feeder pipes;
- the feeder pipes are oriented in the x-direction and they send the hydrogen and oxygen to two large pipes oriented in the y-direction with one large pipe carrying hydrogen and the other large pipe carrying oxygen into two separate scrubbers, one for the hydrogen, and the other for the oxygen, and thereafter send the scrubbed gases into two separate dryers, one for hydrogen and the other for oxygen, and then to a reciprocating compressor for the hydrogen, and another compressor for oxygen;
- and finally to packaging into an appropriate cylinder for hydrogen storage and another appropriate cylinder for oxygen storage.
