How to simulate green hydrogen (electrolysis)
A 1 MW PEM electrolyzer splitting water into hydrogen — a new-energy workflow (carbon footprint + cost track the electricity).
Also known as: PEM electrolyzer, water electrolysis unit, green hydrogen plant.
- 1Open the ready-made model
Open the "Green hydrogen (electrolysis)" model in the MaximaLabs workspace — no install, no license. It loads live on the canvas, ready to edit and run.
- 2Confirm the thermodynamics
This process is modeled with the NRTL property package over water, h2 — already selected, so the phase equilibrium and enthalpy are physically consistent from the first run.
- 3Review the flowsheet
The flowsheet chains EL. Every block is a real, solvable unit op you can reconfigure on the canvas.
- 4Run the simulation
Click Run. The deterministic solver converges the material and energy balances (recycles included) and fills the live stream table — the AI never invents a number.
- 5Read the results and iterate
Inspect the converged streams, tweak a spec, and re-run — or ask the AI copilot to explain a result or diagnose a failed solve in plain English.

Explore the model & flowsheetFrequently asked questions
- What does the Green hydrogen (electrolysis) model simulate?
- A 1 MW PEM electrolyzer splitting water into hydrogen — a new-energy workflow (carbon footprint + cost track the electricity).
- Is "Green hydrogen (electrolysis)" the same as a PEM electrolyzer?
- Yes — this model covers what is also called PEM electrolyzer, water electrolysis unit, green hydrogen plant. It runs the real process on the rigorous solver, so you can size and study it directly.
- Which thermodynamic method does it use?
- The NRTL property package, over water, h2 — already selected. You can switch the method on the canvas before running.
- Which unit operations are in the flowsheet?
- It chains EL. Every block is a real, solvable unit operation you can reconfigure, add to, or remove.
- Do I need to install software or buy a license?
- No. Green hydrogen (electrolysis) runs entirely in your browser on MaximaLabs — free, no install, no license. Open the model to load it live and run the deterministic solver.

PEM fuel-cell CHP with cathode water management
A PEM fuel-cell stack (real Butler-Volmer + Nernst polarization model, not an efficiency shortcut) runs on H₂ with a compressed cathode air supply — the reaction water genuinely splits between vapor (carried out in the exhaust air) and condensed liquid via a real (T,P) VLE flash, not a fixed assumption. A downstream cooler + knockout drum recovers additional water from the exhaust before venting.
CO₂ methanation (e-fuels / power-to-gas)
The Sabatier reaction (CO₂ + 4H₂ ⇌ CH₄ + 2H₂O) converts captured CO₂ and green H₂ into synthetic natural gas at a 97% single-pass-equivalent conversion (real plants stage several adiabatic beds with intercooling to reach this; lumped into one reactor here), then a cooler and knockout drum condense the reaction water from the SNG — the e-fuels loop that closes the loop on captured carbon instead of just storing it.
LOHC hydrogen release (methylcyclohexane dehydrogenation)
A liquid organic hydrogen carrier (LOHC) power train: methylcyclohexane (MCH) is preheated and catalytically dehydrogenated (MCH → toluene + 3H2, endothermic, equilibrium-limited to ~90% single-pass conversion) to release hydrogen for downstream power generation. A flash drum separates the H₂-rich gas from the liquid; a distillation column then recovers the unreacted MCH overhead and recycles it to the reactor feed, closing a real tight liquid recycle loop, while spent toluene leaves the bottoms (to be re-hydrogenated back to MCH off-site, closing the supply-chain loop — out of scope for this dehydrogenation-side flowsheet). Screening-fidelity note: MCH and toluene are genuinely close-boiling (relative volatility ~1.4 under this thermo package at column conditions), so the recycle carries real toluene along with the recovered MCH rather than a sharp cut — a production column would use more stages to purify it further; this shows the recycle topology and its convergence, not an optimized column design.
On-site oxygen: multi-bed vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA)
Medical- / green-steel-grade oxygen generated on site from air by a 4-bed vacuum pressure swing adsorption unit over an N₂-selective zeolite (LiX/13X). This uses the native VPSA unit op — the proven 2-bed Skarstrom engine generalized to N beds with pressure-equalization steps and sub-atmospheric evacuation: nitrogen is adsorbed while oxygen passes as the light product, then each bed is pulled to a vacuum to desorb the nitrogen tail gas. The solver runs the real cyclic transient (tanks-in-series bed discretization + linear-driving-force kinetics + inter-bed equalization) to a periodic steady state — the transient dynamic equilibrium legacy steady-state simulators cannot capture without a separate dynamic license.
