XINTC, a Dutch initiative fully funded by private investments from the Netherlands, has unveiled a revolutionary electrolyzer design that features a fully plastic gas module (stack) and is scalable.  

This innovation eliminates the need for critical metals, membranes, and seals, paving the way for mass production of electrolyzers that are virtually maintenance-free. 

According to XINTC, the modules can be switched on and off continuously more than 100,000 times without significant performance degradation. This allows the system to extract more hydrogen. 

The flexible and modular approach of these electrolyzers can meet both small and large production capacity demands, adapting to the evolution of business practices. 

By using technical plastics and a sophisticated assembly technique, the electrolyzer module is liquid- and gas-tight, which enhances intrinsic safety. Each set is equipped with control electronics (Module Management Control) for optimal process control and monitoring. De facto, electronics direct each individual module to its best possible operating point in terms of gas production and efficiency, regardless of load. 

XINTC electrolyzers produce hydrogen from grade 2.5 to grade 5.0, and from atmospheric pressure to 350 bar, by linking process modules with specific functions. 

The XINTC electrolyzer system includes a power and control module followed by a gas production module. These connected units produce hydrogen with a purity of 99.5% and a pressure of 0.5 bar(g). For applications requiring higher output pressure and greater purity, a compression and purification module is added. 

In addition, 30 gas modules together form a System Section. Within the contour of a System Section, the installed nominal power can be up to nominal 150 kW and 200 kW short-term peak power. Each section is powered by its own power supply station. 

XINTC allows direct coupling with intermittent energy sources such as solar and wind, enabling dynamic and flexible operation. 

This system increases performance by more than 20% per square meter of photovoltaic panel, without restrictions or power thresholds, thanks to its direct integration with photovoltaic energy systems. 

Additionally, by promoting the local production of hydrogen on a small scale using solar and wind energy and surplus grid capacity, XINTC contributes to accelerating market growth toward net-zero carbon emissions. 

On December 9, 2024, the H2 Experience Centre will be inaugurated in Kootwijkerbroek, Netherlands, with the global launch of XINTC's innovative electrolyzer. This center, in collaboration with Energeion, will serve as a testing and demonstration space, showcasing the electrolyzer's ability to integrate with solar fields and adapt to fluctuations from renewable energy sources.
