en.Wedoany.com Reported - Armstrong Industrial, a part of Armstrong Fluid Technology based in Toronto, Canada, has recently entered into a strategic collaboration with Norway's proton exchange membrane (PEM) stack developer Hystar to jointly develop a modular hydrogen production system to meet the hydrogen demand in the industrial sector. This partnership aims to integrate the technologies of both companies, providing integrated hydrogen plants ranging from 1 MW to 20 MW, with scalability to larger capacities.
This modular hydrogen production system combines Hystar's PEM stack technology with Armstrong's balance-of-plant integration capabilities, covering aspects such as power conversion, thermal management, water treatment, gas processing, and system control. The two companies stated that the collaboration will ensure the delivery of a complete hydrogen production system with clear division of responsibilities: Hystar will oversee stack performance, while Armstrong will manage infrastructure and system design.
The system is designed as modular units that support expansion over time, allowing operators to flexibly increase hydrogen production capacity based on demand. Compared to containerized designs, these modular hydrogen production systems offer longer operational lifespans and better maintenance accessibility. The collaboration reflects the growing market demand for electrolysis-based hydrogen production and the need for high-performance, reliably integrated systems.
The launch of the modular hydrogen production system comes at a time when global hydrogen-related initiatives are expanding. For example, in March, Japan's Asahi Kasei advanced its recycling and hydrogen production efforts, involving the reuse of titanium in electrolysis systems and the deployment of hydrogen infrastructure in Europe. Meanwhile, Schneider Electric and Microsoft are also expanding AI-based hydrogen production automation, including the deployment of autonomous electrolyzer systems in India.
