Product overview

PEM electrolysis for renewable-coupled hydrogen production

Metacon's PEM electrolyser systems are designed for green hydrogen production at small to medium scale, where fast response to variable power input is a requirement. Delivered as containerised or skid-mounted turnkey units and ready for installation with minimal site preparation.
Where capacity needs exceed a single unit, systems are deployed in parallel - giving you a direct path to higher output without changing the core equipment configuration or adding integration complexity.

Benefits

  • Full load range: 0–100%
  • Response time measured in seconds
  • Hydrogen purity ≥ 99.999%
  • Containerised for rapid deployment
  • Scalable through parallel configuration

INSIDE THE PEM ELECTROLYSER UNIT

Complete hydrogen production in one pre-integrated unit
Each PEM unit is delivered as a self-contained, pre-integrated system, combining all core process subsystems for immediate site connection and operation.
