Water for Hydrogen Generators

Impact of Water

• Ions
  Ions present in the water may interfere with the electrolysis process, and damage the electrochemical cells. They should be avoided. Ion exchange resins and/or reverse osmosis technologies can remove most of the ions present in tap water, making water suitable for this application.
   
• Particles
  Particles may deposit on lines and membranes, damage the electrochemical cells and interfere with the functioning of the instrument.
   
• Organics
  High loads of organics could potentially create deposits on the surface of the electrodes or form a coating on the membranes, and thus impact the local current. In addition, organic compounds can be used as nutrients by bacteria, and should therefore be kept to a minimum. 
   
• Bacteria
  Bacteria levels should be kept to a minimum, to prevent the formation of biofilm inside the instrument. bacteria levels can be minimized by controlling the levels of organics present in the water. Filtration may also be used.
