What type of electrolysis plants for hydrogen does Welysis offer?
Welysis provides alkaline water electrolysis (AWE) plants for green hydrogen production. This technology is ideal for industrial applications that require sustainable and efficient hydrogen generation. Unlike PEM technology, Welysis’s alkaline plants offer lower operational costs, longer electrode lifespan, and easy integration with renewable energy sources. They are a reliable solution for the chemical industry, energy storage, and processes demanding clean hydrogen.
What is the difference between modular and conventional electrolysis plants?
Modular electrolysis plants, like those developed by Welysis, are designed for scalability, flexibility, and rapid deployment. Unlike conventional systems that require complex engineering for every new installation, modular plants can be assembled from standardized units, reducing installation time and allowing easy capacity upgrades. This makes them ideal for evolving production demands and decentralized applications.
How does an electrolysis plant's production capacity scale with market demand?
Welysis plants are built with a modular approach, enabling clients to start with a base capacity and scale up by adding modules as demand grows. This minimizes upfront investment and allows the plant to evolve alongside business needs, avoiding overdimensioning or future downtime.
What are the key factors in selecting the right electrolysis plant for my business?
Important factors include: desired production capacity, input resource availability (e.g., salt or water), energy efficiency, expansion potential, and product quality requirements. Welysis offers end-to-end guidance—design, engineering, installation, and lifecycle support—to help you choose and implement the most suitable configuration.
How do modular electrolysis plants adapt to different production requirements?
Modular plants can be configured and scaled according to specific product demands—whether it’s hydrogen, sodium hypochlorite, or caustic soda. Welysis systems allow for quick adaptation by adding or removing modules without major structural changes.
What products can be produced with a Welysis electrolysis plant?
Welysis electrolysis plants are primarily used for the production of essential chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda (NaOH), hydrochloric acid (HCl), and hydrogen (H₂). Thanks to our modular design and advanced membrane technology, these plants offer high efficiency and product purity.
Can I scale up my electrolysis plant in the future?
Yes. Welysis plants are modular and scalable, allowing clients to start small and expand capacity as demand increases. This flexibility is ideal for businesses seeking controlled growth or adapting to new market opportunities.
I’m a salt producer. How can I benefit from installing an electrolysis plant?
Salt producers can diversify their business by converting surplus salt into high-value chemical products like chlorine and caustic soda. This not only increases profitability but also enhances market resilience and supply chain control.

What factors influence the price of an electrolysis plant?
The factors that influence the price of an electrolysis plant are multiple.
Production capacity: Plant size is the most determining factor. Plants are typically measured in MW of installed power or in kg/h or Nm³/h of hydrogen produced. Significant economies of scale exist – larger plants have lower specific costs (€/kW or €/kg H₂ daily).
Electrolysis stack: Represents 20-40% of total cost, depending on technology and manufacturer.
Balance of Plant (BoP):
- Rectifiers and power systems (15-25% of cost)
- Water purification systems
- Cooling systems
- Control and automation systems
- Gas systems (drying, purification, temporary storage)
Electrical infrastructure: Transformers, switchgear, grid connection, backup systems.
Project location:
- Local labor costs
- Safety regulations and standards
- Access to existing infrastructure
- Climate conditions affecting design
Government incentives: Subsidies, tax credits, or preferential financing can reduce net cost.
Installation complexity: Complex terrain, integration with existing processes, or special safety requirements increase costs.
Services included: EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction), commissioning, training, extended warranties.
