Alkaline Hydrogen Generator
Overview
Alkaline hydrogen generators produce hydrogen gas through water electrolysis using an alkaline electrolyte solution, widely used for industrial and energy applications.
Principle
Water is mixed with an alkaline electrolyte such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
Electric current is passed through the solution.
Electrochemical reaction splits water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.
Hydrogen gas is collected, purified, and stored.
Electrolyte is continuously recirculated for efficient operation.
Types
Atmospheric Alkaline Electrolyzers
Pressurized Alkaline Electrolyzers
Modular/Containerized Hydrogen Systems
