The Challenge

Green hydrogen electrolyzers require ultra-pure demineralized water — typically 9-15 liters per kg of H₂ produced. With €8B+ in global hydrogen investments and projects scaling to 300+ MW, reliable water supply is critical but often an afterthought in project planning.

Our Solution

RIEFILT structures BOOT contracts for electrolyzer feed water systems. We source and deploy RO + EDI treatment trains matched to your electrolyzer technology (PEM, alkaline, SOEC), ensuring consistent water quality from day one without adding to your already capital-intensive hydrogen project.

Key Applications

  • PEM electrolyzer feed water (Type II purity)
  • Alkaline electrolyzer water treatment
  • Seawater desalination for coastal H₂ projects
  • Cooling water for electrolyzer stacks

Why RIEFILT for this sector

RIEFILT is a manufacturer-independent deal originator. We match the right water treatment technology to your specific requirements — not to a brand. Zero capex through BOOT, rental, or structured purchase.
