PECCA

PECCA – Ariema Testing and Quality Control Platform

• Funding body: IDAE 
• Call: Value Chain, Renewable Hydrogen – Incentive Programme 1. 
• Partners: Ariema (coord.). 
• Duration: 45 months (January 2024 – September 2027). 
• Total budget: €1,637,988 

The PECCA project aims to provide Ariema with the testing facilities required to improve and fine-tune its alkaline electrolysis technology. Specifically, three test benches are being developed with the following characteristics: 

• Test Bench I: will be used to test and develop components, as well as to analyse different operating conditions (pressure and temperature). 
• Test Bench II: a multi-stack test bench that will enable the optimisation of control and operating strategies for multi-stack electrolysers.
• Test Bench III: focused on testing high-pressure electrolysers, it enables the study of the modifications required to allow the stacks to withstand high pressures.
