HOGEN® Generators: A Family of On-
HOGEN® Hydrogen Generators by Proton Energy Systems are a cost efficient, on-site
approach to providing hydrogen for industrial and laboratory applications. Many customers
can realize 60-90% reductions in hydrogen operating costs with an average capital payback
of 2-3 years. Proton produces a line of automated, low maintenance HOGEN generators
designed to meet hydrogen requirements from 20 to 228 SCF/hr (0.5 – 6 Nm3/hr). Higher
outputs are achieved through “ganging” multiple units together.
Utilizing our unique PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) electrolysis process, HOGEN
generators produce ultra-high purity (99.999+%) hydrogen gas from only electricity and
water. Output pressures of up to 218 psi (15 Bar) are achieved directly from our unique
electrolysis systems. Look to the family of HOGEN hydrogen generators for cost effective
solutions to your current and future hydrogen needs.

HOGEN Hydrogen Generators BENEFITS:

Low-cost H2 supply – proven alternative to delivered
hydrogen with up to 60-90% operating cost savings,
and 2-3 year payback in many situations.
Safe – protects your personnel and site from the risks
of stored, volatile hydrogen cylinders. Contains no
caustic chemicals and contains less than 0.1% of the
H2 in a standard cylinder.
Automated, Unattended Operation – just turn it on
