Our Projects

Flexolyser electrolyser stack

We develop our Flexolyser in a Product Roadmap through successive projects from Lab for proof of concept (PoC) to Pilot for system functionality, followed by a Demo for full size testing at an industrial site to finally a first of a kind (FOAK) full stack for operations at a customer site.
 
A standardized module with multiple stacks will be developed that can be replicated to deliver any commercial project size.
 
The incremental approach ensures product quality, safety and performance to the most competitive customer requirements.

Development roadmap: lab prototype, 50 kW pilot, 500 kW demo, FOAK full stack (>10 MW) and 20–50 MW modulesDevelopment roadmap: lab prototype, 50 kW pilot, 500 kW demo, FOAK full stack (>10 MW) and 20–50 MW modules

At Alquion we believe that innovation drives our progress. We have developed state of the art laboratory facilities to validate our simulation models and next generation designs. We test stack components, validate material selection, research electrode degradation and membrane durability.

In the Pilot project we test prototype cells in a small, short stack of 50kW. The Pilot tests the cell design on functionality, safety and performance. It facilitates key design decisions in the Product Roadmap and validates the Demo design.

The Pilot is a remotely operated containerized solution located at the Technical University of Eindhoven.

The 500 kW Demonstrator scales the Flexolyser from the 50 kW Pilot to a commercial-scale prototype in a real industrial environment. At Nyrstar's site in Budel, we will demonstrate fully flexible operation under industrial conditions, including frequent start-stop cycles and extended standstills, while validating safety, performance and durability.

The green hydrogen produced will be used in Nyrstar's water treatment process, replacing part of the grey hydrogen currently produced from natural gas. The Demonstrator provides the final validation step towards our first-of-a-kind Flexolyser stack and is planned to start operation in 2027.
