3x Lower Cell Voltage Drop

Area resistance of 0.09-0.1 ohm-cm2 vs Zirfon's 0.30 ohm-cm2 reduces the voltage penalty across the membrane by approximately 0.08V per cell at typical operating current densities.

Drop-In Stack Compatibility

IONZERA is fully compatible with standard AWE operating conditions: 30 wt% KOH electrolyte, temperatures up to 45 degrees C, and current densities from 0.2-0.6 A/cm2. No frame modifications required.

Mesh-Free Uniform Performance

Without PPS mesh reinforcement, IONZERA provides more consistent pore distribution across the entire active area, reducing localized hot spots and non-uniform current distribution in large-format cells.

Compact Stack Design

At 350-410 um, IONZERA is 20-30% thinner than Zirfon, enabling higher cell density per stack length and reducing overall stack weight and footprint.

Alkaline Water Electrolysis in Mumbai

Mumbai and the broader Maharashtra-Gujarat refinery corridor host some of India's largest petroleum refining and petrochemical operations. These facilities consume significant volumes of hydrogen for desulfurization and hydrocracking processes, creating a natural market for on-site green hydrogen production via alkaline electrolysis. The region's chemical and fertilizer industries further amplify hydrogen demand.

IONZERA is manufactured in Bengaluru, providing Mumbai-based projects with 2-3 day road freight delivery and zero import duties. For refineries transitioning from grey to green hydrogen, IONZERA's 3x lower membrane resistance reduces the electricity cost per kg of hydrogen, improving the payback period for electrolyser investments. G-Hexa provides direct technical support and rapid sample delivery.
