Chinese hydrogen firm PERIC selects ABB to supply rectifier system to Texas pilot plant
In China, ABB said that Chinese company PERIC Hydrogen Technologies Co (PERIC), an electrolyzer producer, selected ABB to support a green hydrogen pilot facility in Texas.
The facility will convert renewable energy into green hydrogen and combine it with industrially-sourced carbon dioxide (CO2) to produce ultra-low carbon fuels, ABB said.
ABB’s UNIREC H2 water-cooled power rectifier optimizes hydrogen production with smart control and low maintenance costs, ABB said.
In August 2022, ABB started working on the project with PERIC to deliver the customized UNIREC H2 power rectifier to the facility.
“We have previously worked with ABB and experienced their advanced control, power distribution, and excitation systems and decided to expand our collaboration to a real partnership,” said Lian XiaoFei at PERIC. “In this project, ABB not only customized the rectifier as per our client’s requirements but also attuned the system to the temperature conditions given the plant is in a desert.”
