Facility Siting and Risk Analysis of a PEM Electrolyzer

Presenting our current work on the QRA study of a commercial PEM electrolyzer for hydrogen production, this paper is tailored to address the unique challenges posed by hydrogen releases in production units. Recognizing that various factors can influence QRA outcomes, the study includes considerations such as incorporating the latest release frequency data for hydrogen applications, determining realistic consequences based on concentration criteria, estimating the probability of ignition, and accounting for sensor-based detection and isolation, among other factors.
