For teams that need a hydrogen source and an experimental platform in the same enclosure.
HXB-V1 combines the AEM stack, power electronics, electrolyte circulation, feed-water handling, sensing, safety logic and desktop control in one rack-mount system. Connect AC power, qualified water and the required gas, vent and drain lines; operate at 0 or 10 barg from the software.

Start with pressure and purity. HydroXpand will map the appropriate HXB-V1 and downstream configuration before quotation.
Boundary note: ≥99.999% purity requires a suitable dryer. CE evidence is a manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity, not third-party product certification.
HydroXpand Inc. is a South Korean deep-tech company that develops and manufactures Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) electrodes, cells, stacks, and integrated systems. Founded in 2023 by three KAIST PhDs, we work across catalysts, electrodes, stack architecture, balance-of-plant, and control software to reduce both upfront and lifecycle costs for clean hydrogen production.
Our current portfolio includes iridium-free anodes, low-PGM cathodes, single-cell and short-stack hardware, the HXS-2 2 kW stack, and the HXB-V1 2 kW integrated system. The HXS-30 30 kW pilot stack is under development and validation. HydroXpand products have been supplied to more than 50 customers across 10 countries, and our technology portfolio includes nine patents. The HXB-V1 is supported by a CE Declaration of Conformity.
Our stack architecture is designed so that the durable hardware can be reused while the MEA is replaced, reducing maintenance cost and material waste. Customers can start with laboratory or pilot-scale equipment today and expand through a modular development roadmap toward larger industrial systems.
