Gradiant, a global leader in advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, has launched ProtiumSource, touted as the most advanced end-to-end system for electrolyser-ready water.
ProtiumSource allows producers to concentrate on green hydrogen without the worry of sourcing water, as it provides the necessary high-purity, electrolyser-ready water with minimal energy demand, all powered by renewable energy.
“With the launch of ProtiumSource, we are eliminating a significant barrier to making green hydrogen a truly renewable energy source,” stated Prakash Govindan, Chief Operating Officer of Gradiant.
This innovative solution stems from a collaboration that combines the extensive ultrapure water expertise of the recently acquired H+E Group with the innovations from The Gradiant Labs. It aims to address the pressing needs of green hydrogen producers across various operational environments, including feedwater-agnostic systems, zero liquid discharge (ZLD), and achieving the lowest total lifecycle costs.
ProtiumSource utilizes the most efficient water treatment technologies in a fully integrated three-phase system, tailored to meet the throughput requirements of any green hydrogen production facility.
The first phase involves water purification, employing Gradiant’s award-winning Pretreatment, Selective Contaminant Extraction, and RO Infinity technologies to eliminate a wide range of inorganic and organic contaminants from any feedwater source. This is followed by the production of electrolyser-ready water, leveraging H+E’s expertise in ion exchange (IX), electrodeionisation (EDI), and ultraviolet (UV) technologies to deliver water that surpasses industry standards.
The final phase features an integrated brine management system for ZLD, utilizing Gradiant’s acclaimed RO Infinity with Counterflow Reverse Osmosis (CFRO) technology to reclaim water from brine during both the pretreatment and high-purity stages.
ProtiumSource has undergone extensive testing and is commercially ready, with Gradiant currently onboarding new customer partners.
