Publication number: 20230332302Abstract: A method and system for electrolytically producing at least one product stream containing hydrogen, wherein a feed stream containing at least water is subjected to electrolysis so as to obtain two extraction streams. Downstream of the electrolysis, the two extraction streams are subjected to separation so as to obtain the at least one product stream and two liquid fractions containing water. At least one of the two liquid fractions is fed back at least in part to the electrolysis. Upstream of the electrolysis, the feed stream is heated by exchanging heat with at least one of the two extraction streams. The at least one extraction stream from which heat is removed by means of the heat exchange is subjected to additional cooling, the additional cooling taking place by using an organic Rankine cycle or a Rankine cycle that uses an organic-chemical heat transport medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2021Publication date: October 19, 2023Inventors: Andreas PESCHEL, Benjamin HENTSCHEL

Publication number: 20230076096Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a gas product containing oxygen, wherein a feedstock containing water is subjected to electrolysis to obtain a raw anode gas, which is rich in oxygen and contains hydrogen, and a raw cathode gas, which is low in oxygen and rich in hydrogen. The raw anode gas is at least partially subjected to a catalytic conversion of hydrogen to water to obtain a first mixture with depleted hydrogen content. A first part of the first mixture is returned to the raw anode gas downstream of the electrolysis and upstream of the catalytic conversion, and the gas product containing oxygen is formed using at least a second part of the first mixture. The invention also relates to a plant for carrying out a method of this type.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2020Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Andreas PESCHEL, Benjamin HENTSCHEL
