PILOT SCALE
PILOT SCALEMembranes for Pilot & Decentralized H2 Plants
From laboratory electrolysers to distributed hydrogen fueling stations, IONZERA delivers the performance of a premium membrane at the volumes and lead times that pilot and decentralized projects require.
Membrane Cross-Section
PSU-TiO₂-GOFast Sample Availability
G-Hexa provides small-quantity membrane samples for pilot-scale testing, with shorter lead times than European suppliers. Perfect for R&D programs and proof-of-concept installations.
Performance at Any Scale
IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance delivers efficiency benefits whether your electrolyser is 10 kW or 10 MW, making every pilot project a showcase of what is achievable at full scale.
Technical Partnership
G-Hexa's engineering team provides hands-on support for membrane integration into custom electrolyser designs, from cell sizing to operating parameter optimization.
Custom Membrane Sizing
Pilot and decentralized electrolysers often use non-standard cell formats. G-Hexa offers custom cutting and sizing for IONZERA membranes to match your specific cell geometry.
The Role of Pilot Plants in Hydrogen Technology
Before committing to multi-MW commercial deployments, most hydrogen projects pass through pilot and demonstration phases. These smaller installations, typically 100 kW to 5 MW, validate technology performance, generate operational data for financing, and train operational teams. The membrane used in pilot systems must deliver representative performance to generate meaningful scale-up data.
IONZERA is equally suitable for pilot-scale evaluation and full-scale commercial deployment. Because it is a production-grade membrane, not a lab curiosity, performance data from pilot testing directly predicts commercial-scale behavior.
Decentralized Hydrogen Production
Beyond pilot plants, a growing market exists for small-scale, distributed hydrogen production. Decentralized H2 plants serve applications where transporting hydrogen is impractical or uneconomical:
Nanocomposite Structure
PSU-TiO₂-GOLower Resistance
Thinner Profile
Procurement for Pilot Quantities
G-Hexa understands that pilot and decentralized projects have different procurement needs than GW-scale deployments. We offer flexible ordering, from single-membrane samples for laboratory testing to small batches for pilot stacks. Our Bengaluru-based team provides direct technical support including membrane handling guidelines, stack integration advice, and performance benchmarking assistance.
