Green hydrogen is a key component of the energy transition and plays a crucial role in the future hydrogen economy. Reliable filters along the entire process chain are essential for efficient and safe hydrogen production. Starting with the treatment of water as a resource for the electrolyser, through the actual electrolysis, to the use of the hydrogen produced in fuel cells. BOLL & KIRCH develops tailor-made filtration systems for all applications along the green hydrogen value chain – including its derivatives such as ammonia, methanol, synthetic fuels (e-fuels) and other power-to-X products.
The aquaBoll® automatic filter removes potentially harmful particles from untreated river water and protects generators and turbines of power generation plants. The fully automatic filter operates continuously with a preset backwash programme and provides effective filtration without regular cleaning or maintenance.
BOLL & KIRCH works on iron-free filtration solutions for the lye circuation system for a slowed down degradation.
Protectiv solutions for other auxiliary systems such as purge, vent and drain systems, other fluid circulation as well as purifcation systems.

Filtration principle for electrolysis
The requirements for the filtration of green hydrogen as a gas or in liquid state, as well as of e-fuels synthesised from green hydrogen, are extremely demanding. High pressures, low temperatures and sometimes hazardous properties (e.g. in the case of ammonia) of these media require comprehensive knowledge of these operating conditions, coupled with experience in the protection of combustion engines, turbines and compressors.
Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis using electricity from renewable sources and is climate neutral. Green hydrogen offers the possibility for industry and heavy transport to become CO2-free.
