An alkaline water electrolyzer is a well-established hydrogen production device that uses an alkaline solution (such as potassium hydroxide, KOH) as the electrolyte to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Hyto Energy’s alkaline water electrolyzers are celebrated for their maturity, reliability, and cost-effectiveness, making them a staple in large-scale industrial hydrogen production. The working principle involves passing an electric current through the alkaline electrolyte, causing water molecules to break down: oxygen is released at the anode, and hydrogen at the cathode. A porous diaphragm separates the two electrodes to prevent gas mixing while allowing the flow of hydroxide ions, ensuring efficient ion conduction and safe operation. One of the key advantages of Hyto’s alkaline water electrolyzers is their low requirement for feedwater purity, reducing the need for expensive water pretreatment systems. This makes them particularly suitable for industrial settings where water quality may vary. Additionally, their electrode materials (often nickel-based) are relatively inexpensive compared to the precious metals used in some other electrolyzer types, lowering initial investment costs. These electrolyzers excel in continuous, large-scale operation, making them ideal for applications such as ammonia production, oil refining, and large green hydrogen projects paired with stable renewable energy sources (e.g., geothermal or hydroelectric power). While they have a slower response to power fluctuations compared to PEM electrolyzers, their high operational stability and long service life (often exceeding 10 years) make them a trusted choice for consistent hydrogen supply. Hyto’s alkaline water electrolyzers are available in various capacities, from medium to gigawatt-scale, to meet diverse industrial needs.
