Eliminate Cylinder Logistics

On-site generation replaces the complex logistics of compressed hydrogen cylinder delivery, storage, and changeover in cleanroom-adjacent areas.

Consistent Supply Reliability

Alkaline electrolysers with IONZERA membranes provide continuous, demand-responsive hydrogen generation, ensuring fab operations never face supply interruptions.

Lower Operating Cost

IONZERA's 3x lower area resistance reduces the electricity cost of on-site H2 generation versus both delivered cylinders and less efficient electrolyser alternatives.

Compact Installation

IONZERA's thin 350-410 um profile enables compact electrolyser stacks that fit within the space constraints of semiconductor facility utility areas.

Semiconductor Fab Gas Supply in Belgium’s Hydrogen Market

Belgium plays a strategic role in Europe's hydrogen landscape, both as a technology hub and transit corridor. The port of Antwerp is a major chemical and refining cluster with significant hydrogen demand. Belgium is also home to Zirfon manufacturing, making it a natural market for demonstrating IONZERA's superior performance credentials.

In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance. Belgian electrolyser developers and research institutions can directly benchmark IONZERA against the incumbent, validating the performance improvements in their own testing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose IONZERA for semiconductor fab gas supply in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower ionic resistance than Zirfon, making it ideal for semiconductor fab gas supply applications in Belgium. In Zirfon's home market, IONZERA offers a compelling technical alternative with 3x lower area resistance.

Why consider IONZERA when Zirfon is produced locally in Belgium?

IONZERA delivers 3x lower area resistance than Zirfon PERL UTP 500, enabling significantly more efficient electrolysis. For Belgian projects prioritizing performance and competitive TCO, IONZERA provides measurable advantages even accounting for shipping from India.

Can IONZERA be tested alongside Zirfon in the same electrolyser?

Yes. IONZERA is designed as a drop-in replacement for Zirfon in standard AWE stacks. It operates in the same 30 wt% KOH electrolyte at up to 45 degrees C, enabling direct side-by-side performance comparison.
