Case study

Customer: A large European Electrolyzer manufacturer

Specific alkaline electrolyzers produce hydrogen in cells, consisting of an anode, a cathode and a membrane in between. These cells are connected in series to form a stack. Proper sealing of the membrane itself and between the cells is crucial for safe and efficient operation. The customer turned to ERIKS because they needed to improve the performance of their seals.
