November 2023 - We are proud to announce that Valcon International s.r.o. have become Enapter Certified Partner. Valcon incorporate Enapter equipment in their complex hydrogen solutions that include water treatment, hydrogen production, compression and storage.
Valcon International can now provide hydrogen solutions ranging from 0.5 up to 210 Nm3/h of hydrogen with prospects of increased production in near future.
AEM electrolyzer technology that we are using has great advantages - namely higher current density, thus efficiency and lower requirements on inlet water purity.

September 2023 - Our modular electrolyser performance data results - time x outlet flow characteristics - our 10 kW electrolyser unit is on full flow production within 18 minutes, we are storing the produced hydrogen in industrial type bottle and production switches automatically off when limit pressure is reached. Below are - production time trend, pressure time trend and voltage-current characteristics. Total production is 2 Nm3/h.
August 2023 - Valcon International s.r.o. electrolyser up
and producing - see the construction progress video sequence
July 2023 - Valcon International s.r.o installs extension of hydrogen fuel cell and electrolyser at the Czech Technical University. The capacity is increased from 0.5 Nm3/h to 2 Nm3/h. The unit is additionally fitted with a new control and data acquisition system, safety system with independent SIL 3 ready safety chain, 2 hydrogen leak detection sensors and power consumption and production (on the fuel cell side) electric power meters. We are using our design data and previous test results, some of them were posted here earlier. An intensive test schedule is ahead of us and we are expecting results in early autumn. We will report on the progress.
