Standard electrolysis requires a dedicated water supply. Meridian Pi extracts moisture directly from the atmosphere -- eliminating the water logistics problem and making hydrogen production possible anywhere on earth with sufficient humidity.
The atmospheric hydrogen generation process converts ambient air moisture into 99.999% pure hydrogen through extraction, purification, electrolysis, and compression. No external feedstock. No supply chain. No logistics.
Air is drawn into the system and moisture is extracted through a proprietary dehumidification process. The system operates continuously as long as ambient humidity meets the minimum threshold.
Minimum 17% RH -- optimal 40-90% RH Operating range 40°F - 120°FExtracted moisture is purified to ASTM D1193-06 Type IV specification before entering the electrolyzer. Type II or III purity is recommended for optimal electrolysis performance. Water recovered from fuel cell dispatch is captured and recirculated back to this stage -- closing the loop.
ASTM D1193-06 Type IV minimum Closed-loop water recovery from fuel cell outputPurified water is fed to the electrolyzer, which splits water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen using electrical current. Input power is fuel-agnostic -- solar, wind, grid, or any combination. The system scales production with available power.
99.999% hydrogen purity Fuel-agnostic power inputProduced hydrogen is compressed and stored in Type IV carbon fiber composite pressure vessels. Storage capacity is sized to the facility's load profile and required autonomy duration.
Up to 700 barg storage pressure Type IV composite pressure vesselsPerformance figures reflect design targets for NovaSpark atmospheric hydrogen generation systems. Final specifications are determined during site-specific engineering. Verify with engineering before relying on specific figures.
