Product overview

Containerized alkaline electrolysis for industrial-scale hydrogen production

Fully integrated systems without need for additional buildings.
Metacon's containerised electrolysis solutions provide a compact, factory-integrated approach to hydrogen production for pilot projects, demonstration plants and medium-scale industrial applications. Each system combines electrolysis equipment, automation and key auxiliary systems in a standardised format designed for straightforward deployment and operation.

By reducing footprint, site preparation requirements and on-site installation work, containerised solutions offer an efficient alternative to conventional plant construction. Systems are configured to site-specific requirements and can be combined into larger installations through a modular and scalable design.

Benefits

  • Scales from 1 to 20 MW
  • Up to 30 bar output pressure
  • CE-certified, European manufacturing standards
  • Compact footprint
  • Reduced civil works, fast deployment
