Fluidic solutions for electrolysers

Produced without carbon emissions from renewable energy sources, green hydrogen is an energy source that represents a clean future. It is mostly generated through electrolysis, whereby electrical energy is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.  Electrolysers make this process both sustainable and economical. Precise closed-loop control of the gas and liquid flows in the electrolyser is essential for ensuring optimal operating conditions and maximising process efficiency.

Fluidic solutions for stationary fuel cell technology

Stationary fuel cells such as the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) or the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) efficiently convert chemical energy from hydrogen into electrical energy and are used as reliable energy sources in various applications, including buildings and ships. Reformer systems are used so that fuel gases or fuels can also be used as media instead of pure hydrogen. In stationary fuel cells, armature – i.e. the management of gas and liquid flows – is an important aspect in ensuring efficient and reliable power generation. 

As an armature specialist, Bürkert is the ideal partner at your side. See for yourself!

Fluidic solutions for mobile fuel cell technology

The mobile fuel cell efficiently supplies electrical energy by converting hydrogen to provide an environmentally friendly power source for mobile applications. In mobile fuel cells, fluidics, i.e. the management of gas and liquid flows, is an important aspect in ensuring efficient and reliable power generation for the actuator.

Monitoring nitrate concentration in drinking water

Why too much nitrate in drinking water is harmful and what can be done about it.

Improved gas feeding in water treatment

Accurate gas dosing and the ability to control the feed to match changing conditions are vital for water treatment applications such as pH control using CO₂ or removing iron with oxidation. From the outset, the system requires accurate sizing and, combined with precise control enabled by automation, this will ensure product quality as well as a cost-effective process in the long term.

Precise solutions for secure, reproducible processes in a bioreactor

A bioreactor’s purpose is to provide the greatest possible product yield. To do this, it requires precise regulation of all important parameters like nutrient concentration, temperature or oxygen content to optimally support fermentation. Learn how you can use customised valve and sensor solutions for secure, reproducible processes in your fermenters.

WFI circuit: Increasing security and saving operating costs with local control loops of valves and sensors

Water for injection (WFI) for the pharmaceutical industry requires special handling. Quality needs to be controlled and documented and flow velocities need to be measured and regulated so that purity and availability can be consistently guaranteed. The amounts of energy required for the production, distribution and storage of WFI result in significant operating costs. At the same time, environmental protection and sustainability are becoming increasingly important at many pharmaceutical companies. This makes the energy efficiency of a plant an important issue in the overall investment decision, a decision we are happy to help you with.

Valve clusters for a wide range of fluidic tasks in pharmaceutical grinding plants

As a manufacturer of pharmaceutical grinding systems, shredding systems and their infrastructure, hygiene is your top priority. Complex designs and a lack of fluidic control automation can often make residue-free cleaning more difficult. At the same time, the space requirement is large and the installation is extremely complex. Find out here how you can save money, space and time with modular valve clusters from Bürkert.
