Hydrogen Generators

Hydrogen Generators for Fuel Gas


Model H2PEM Hydrogen Generator

  • Ideal for Fuel gas, up to 14 FID’s
  • Eliminates dangerous and expensive hydrogen gas cylinders from the laboratory
  • Exclusive water management system and control circuitry maximize uptime
  • Unique display lighting changes colour for easy status checks and water level indication
  • Remote control and remote monitoring capable by adding USB options bay controller
  • Certified for laboratory use by CSA, UL, IEC, 1010, and CE Mark
  • Compact and reliable – only one square foot of bench space required
  • Uses no liquid caustics

Parker Balston’s Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Cell eliminates the use of liquid electrolytes with hydrogen generators.

Proven in over 40,000 GC installations worldwide. Parker Balston’s generators are the most reliable hydrogen generators on the market. Maintenance requires only a few moments per year – no inconvenient, extended downtime.

Simply change the deionizer bag every six months and the desiccant cartridge whenever it turns from light blue to grey.

Deionized water is all that is required to generate hydrogen for weeks of continuous operation.

With an output capacity of up to 510 cc/minute, one generator can supply 99.9995% pure hydrogen for up to several FID’s. Based on cylinder gas savings alone, a Parker Balston® hydrogen generator pays for itself in less than a year.

All Parker Balston hydrogen generators meet NFPA requirements and OSHA 1910.103 regulations governing the storage of hydrogen.

Produced and supported by an ISO 9001 registered organization, Parker Balston’s hydrogen generators are the first built to meet the toughest laboratory standards in the world: CSA, UL, CE and IEC 1010.

  • Safe – produces only as much gas as you need
  • Unique electron beam palladium cell technology
  • Produces a continuous supply of 99.00000 +% pure hydrogen gas, ideal for carrier and fuel gas applications
  • Compact and reliable – only one square foot of bench space required and designed to run continuously 24 hours/day – includes automatic water fill
  • Simple annual maintenance, no desiccant cartridges
  • Certified for laboratory use by CSA, UL, IEC 1010, and CE Mark

Parker Balston hydrogen generators eliminate the need for expensive, dangerous, high pressure cylinders of hydrogen in the laboratory. It is no longer necessary to interrupt important analysis to change cylinders.

Generator flow capacities of up to 300cc/min. of ultra high purity hydrogen are available.

Parker Balston Hydrogen Generators are compact benchtop units designed for use in the laboratory or in the field.

Hydrogen gas is produced by electrolytic dissociation of water. The resultant hydrogen steam then passes through a palladium membrane to assure carrier grade purity.

Only hydrogen and its isotopes can penetrate the palladium membrane; therefore, the purity of the output gas is guaranteed to be 99.99999 +% consistently. This technology produces hydrogen at a guaranteed purity two orders of magnitude greater than desiccant or silica gel technologies.

Parker Balston Hydrogen Generators offer many special features to ensure safe and convenient operation. These features include smart display technology system status at a glance and automatic water fill for endless operation.
