Abstract:
1. An electrolyzer cell module comprising: a safety system for monitoring at least one process and operating parameter related to the operation of the electrolyzer cell module and evaluating whether or not each of a plurality of alarm thresholds has been violated by the at least one process and operating parameter; a computer usable medium, in communication with the safety system, having computer program readable code means embodied therein for causing the safety system to suspend the normal operation of the electrolyzer cell module when the at least one of the plurality of alarm thresholds has been violated and subsequently to initiate a corresponding alarm recovery sequence for a the violated alarm threshold, the computer program readable code means comprising: instructions for effecting corresponding alarm recovery sequence for each alarm threshold, for evaluating measured process and operating parameters in order to determine whether or not at least one alarm threshold has been violated and, when more than one alarm threshold has been violated, for assigning priorities to the alarm thresholds and initiating the corresponding alarm recovery sequences in order according to their priorities.
