About the solution

The combination of PAX’s modular, low-cost, low-temperature water purification system with hydrogen electrolyzers and renewable energy sources provides not only a long-term sustainable DER but enables the first viable Distributed Water Resource, for practical water and energy resiliency in shore installations, naval operations, logistics, micro-grids, or for disaster/emergency response. Development of water purification system to enable use of high-salinity or non-potable water for electrolysis, without the need for expensive reverse-osmosis membranes, enables wider hydrogen production opportunities.

Reducing balance of systems costs for electrolyzer based hydrogen production.
