200Nm³/h High Purity Hydrogen Production from Methanol + PSA: How HYVODA Solved Key Technical Concerns During Indian Client Factory Visit

When a customer from India visited HYVODA to evaluate a 200Nm³/h high purity hydrogen production from methanol + PSA system, the goal was clear. The client needed a stable, energy-efficient hydrogen production solution. They also wanted clear answers about purity stability, start-up time, maintenance cost, and long-term reliability.

During the factory visit, we addressed each concern with real production data, live demonstrations, and detailed technical explanations. As a result, the client expressed strong satisfaction and moved forward with cooperation.

200Nm³/h High Purity Hydrogen Production from Methanol + PSA System Overview

The project focuses on a 200Nm³/h high purity hydrogen production from methanol + PSA system designed for continuous industrial hydrogen supply.

Core Technical Features

  • Hydrogen Production Capacity: 200 Nm³/h
  • Technology: Methanol steam reforming + PSA purification
  • Hydrogen Purity: ≥99.999% (configurable)
  • Continuous automatic operation
  • Optimized heat recovery design
  • PLC intelligent control system

The system converts methanol into hydrogen-rich gas through catalytic reforming. Then, the PSA unit removes CO, CO₂, CH₄, and other impurities to ensure high purity hydrogen output. This configuration provides stable hydrogen purity while keeping operational costs under control.

Factory Inspection: Full Manufacturing Transparency

Technical discussions between customers and engineers

During the visit, the client reviewed the complete manufacturing process of the high purity hydrogen production system.

From Raw Material to Final Commissioning

First, we presented the reactor fabrication area and explained welding quality control standards. Next, we demonstrated the PSA adsorption tower assembly process. Then, we showed the electrical integration and PLC programming stage. Finally, we performed system simulation testing.

By observing:

  • Reactor structure manufacturing
  • PSA tower pressure testing
  • Control cabinet wiring
  • Safety interlock verification
  • Final hydrogen purity testing

the client clearly understood how we guarantee performance at every step.

This transparent factory inspection strengthened confidence in our 200Nm³/h hydrogen production system.

Key Questions Raised by the Client — and Our Solutions

The client asked detailed and practical questions about the methanol hydrogen production + PSA system. We addressed each one directly.

1. How Stable Is Hydrogen Purity?
