Air Products designs, installs, maintains, owns and operates the hydrogen generator at your site with redundant backup supply for increased reliability.
Hydrogen Onsite Generators
Onsite generation of hydrogen is an alternative to delivered product and offers customers a unique way to supply their fueling station. Two technologies are available - methane reformers and electrolyzers.
Air Products' PRISM® hydrogen generators are steam methane reformers that use a highly efficient, robust process that minimizes operating costs. PRISM hydrogen generators are designed to supply fueling stations up to 1,800 kgs per day. The hydrogen purity from our generators will meet the stringent requirements of fuel cell applications.
The generators feature a compact modular design for easy installation. High onstream time is enabled by the reliability designed in the PRISM hydrogen generator and easy maintenance. Fully integrated backup systems can also be provided to help maintain uninterrupted supply.

Sale-of-Equipment
Air Products designs and ships a turn-key hydrogen generator to you via a purchase agreement. You install, own and operate the plant at your site or purchase services from Air Products to support the plants installation, operation, and maintenance.
Hydrogen electrolyzer
In addition to PRISM hydrogen generators, Air Products works with industry leading suppliers of electrolyzers to integrate this mode of onsite production into fueling stations and power-to-gas applications. Air Products engineers design the station to work seamlessly with the electrolyzer, ensuring the project is safe, reliable and cost effective.
Key features of electrolyzers:
- Gaseous hydrogen
- Proton exchange membrane (PEM) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) technology
- Carbon free hydrogen production if renewable electricity used
- Various quantities/day depending on fueling station requirements
- Purity levels 99.9995%
- Good turn-down capabilities for varying demand
Gases
Air Products gases, typically provided in gaseous and liquid form, enable customers in a wide range of industries to improve their environmental performance, product quality, and productivity.
Hydrogen for Fueling
In recent years, hydrogen has come to the forefront as an alternative, environmentally-friendly fuel. As an energy carrier, hydrogen provides many advantages versus other alternatives, particularly when used in a fuel cell.
