Understanding the role of real-time chemical monitoring in green hydrogen production – interview with an electrolyzer development project

Green hydrogen.
Liquid Measurements
Two sessions to choose from

Welcome to the second episode of "Measurement Matters", Vaisala's new customer stories series. You can't manage what you don't monitor, and in this series, we explore what that means in real-world industrial applications. This time: monitoring highly corrosive chemicals in green hydrogen production. 

Join us for an exclusive 30-minute conversation with iChemAnalytics, a German project to develop next-generation electrolyzers for clean hydrogen production. Discover how they solved a critical measurement challenge: accurately monitoring highly corrosive KOH electrolyte concentrations in real time, inside an operating electrolyzer.

During this interview, you'll discover how iChemAnalytics considered several measurement approaches (including refractometry, ultrasonic, and manual laboratory analysis) before selecting the inline solution that offered proven measurement accuracy, chemical resistance and a compact design.

What you'll learn:

  • Why monitoring electrolyte concentration on both sides of the membrane is critical for electrolyzer efficiency and for preventing system failure
  • How inline refractometers survive in highly aggressive 30% KOH solutions where other measurement options face limitations
  • The direct impact of continuous, real-time KOH monitoring on electrode coating development, energy consumption, and electrolyzer longevity
  • How factory-calibrated, maintenance-free instruments eliminate recalibration cycles and enable fully automated test systems
  • Why factors like compact design, integrated signal processing, and responsive technical support matter when choosing instrumentation for R&D applications
  • Real-world insights and practical advice from an operational electrolyzer test facility developing longer-lasting, more efficient green hydrogen equipment

Who's the webinar for:

  • Green hydrogen developers, electrolyzer manufacturers, and clean energy startups
  • Engineering firms and system integrators designing electrolyzer or hydrogen production systems
  • Chemical process engineers and R&D teams working with aggressive & challenging liquids.
  • Renewable energy companies integrating hydrogen production processes
