PowerTap - Model PTG-50 -Onsite Industrial Hydrogen Generator
PowerTap generates hydrogen on-site. It converts natural gas and city water into high-purity hydrogen directly at the point of use. Eliminate the cost and complication of delivered hydrogen and easily secure your own dedicated hydrogen supply. PowerTap uses one of the smallest footprints in hydrogen generation to provide a highly economical hydrogen supply option, available within minimal lead times.

Cost Effective
An economical hydrogen supply solution compared to other supply alternatives.
Easy implementation
Minimal lead times. Plus, less hydrogen stored on-site means easier permitting.
Compact and scalable
Advanced technology enables a reduced footprint compared to alternatives. Turndown capabilities and component modularity allow for load cycle flexibility.
Low Carbon Emissions
On-site steam methane reformers reduce emissions by approximately 33% against delivered hydrogen according to Argonne National Laboratory.
