Power-to-X require high demands for valves Power-to-X (P-t-X) is a groundbreaking method for converting renewable energy (RE) into climate-friendly fuels such as hydrogen and e-fuels. The first phase of the process is electrolysis, where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using green energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar energy. The hydrogen can be used directly as fuel in the transport sector or converted into e-fuels such as methanol or ammonia, which can be used as fuel in heavy transport such as aviation or shipping. At MODU, we are ready to help meet the specific valve quality requirements necessary to support P-t-X projects.

Electrolysis
Electrolysis is an electrochemical process where an electric current is passed through an electrolyte, and chemical compounds are converted into new substances, often including elements. Water (H2O) is typically converted into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2). There are different principles within electrolysis, such as Alkaline Electrolyte Cell (AEC), Alkaline Electrolyte Membrane (AEM), Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM), and Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell (SOE), and each principle requires different equipment and components depending on the medium, process pressure, and process temperature.
AEC, AEM, PEM, SOE
At MODU Valves, we have built up extensive knowledge and experience in this field, and therefore consider ourselves a valuable partner and ideal supplier of components for electrolysis systems. We offer a range of shut-off valves, control valves, back pressure valves, valve accessories and systems, as well as developing solutions for the electrolysis industry.

Fuel cells
Fuel cells can convert fuel and air directly into electricity, heat, and water in an electrochemical process. Hydrogen (H2), methanol (CH3OH), and ammonia (NH3) can be used as fuel in fuel cells depending on the chosen technology. By using fuel cells, higher efficiency is achieved and the emission of harmful combustion products, as in direct fuel combustion, is avoided.
H2 STORAGE FUEL CELL MODULES BATTERIES POWER ELECTRONICS ELECTRIC MOTORS
The choice of equipment and components depends on which fuel cell principle is used, and typically the medium, process pressure, and process temperature are decisive. At MODU Valves, we have built up broad experience and expertise in fuel cell technology, and we consider ourselves a valuable partner and ideal supplier of components for fuel cell systems.

Carbon Capture and Storage
CCUS - Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage - is a collective term for various methods of capturing CO2 either directly from emitting sources or from the atmosphere. The Co2 can permanently be stored in geological reservoirs or be used for other purposes such as food and beverage production, chemicals, building materials, and synthetic fuels for airplanes, where fossil carbon can be replaced.

Depending on the principle used to capture CO2 from the atmosphere or direct emissions, different requirements are placed on equipment and components in the systems. The choice of equipment and components typically depends on the medium, process temperature, and process pressure. At MODU Valves, we have gained extensive experience and knowledge in the CCUS field and therefore consider ourselves a valuable sparring partner and an ideal component supplier for CCUS systems.

Back pressure regulator An Equilibar back pressure regulator is a valve consisting of a diaphragm separating two chambers which are applied with process pressure and an adjustable reference pressure. The regulator is installed downstream in the process and this is how it maintains the pressure in the process. The membrane equalizes the pressure between the reference pressure and the process pressure in a ratio of 1:1 and if the process pressure is raised compared to the reference pressure, the membrane is affected so that the process pressure is automatically relieved. The back pressure regulator can be used both as a back pressure regulator or for flow regulation. In both cases, the regulator must be part of a control loop. A control loop consists of the following components: Flow meter or pressure transmitter PID regulator Pilot pressure regulator Equilibar back pressure regulator MODU Valves is of course a competent supplier of all the above components.
