HXB-V1 produces hydrogen
and connects to the equipment your site requires.
HydroXpand supplies HXB-V1 and helps review its connections to site utilities and downstream equipment. A modular dryer is in development; for immediate needs, we can recommend a suitable partner product. Compression, storage and end-use equipment remain within the customer or integration partner scope.

Downstream equipment
Choose HXS-2 when your team
will build the BoP.
Start with HXB-V1 for an integrated system, HXS-2 when your team will build the BoP, or research cells and electrodes when the project begins with evaluation.
Integrated system or stack: where the supply boundary sits
HXB-V1 reduces the equipment your team must integrate. Choose HXS-2 when power, circulation, separation, controls and safety are already in your scope.
