Gradiant, a global provider of advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions, announced the launch of ProtiumSource on

September 24, claiming it is the world’s most advanced end-to-end solution for electrolyzed water. ProtiumSource lets producers

focus on green hydrogen, not water sources.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe and is a key component in Earth’s transition to a carbon-neutral future,

providing a source of fossil fuels used in hard-to-abate industrial markets including ammonia fertilizers, steel and chemical production,

electricity and transportation. alternative. Green hydrogen is produced with zero carbon emissions, making it a highly ideal raw material

for industrial use. However, its potential as a fully renewable resource will only be fully realized if the input water used to produce

hydrogen is also green. Gradiant’s ProtiumSource provides producers with the solutions they need to realize the promise of green

hydrogen, delivering high-purity electrolyzed water with minimal energy requirements, powered entirely by renewable energy.

ProtiumSource is the result of a collaboration that combines decades of ultrapure water expertise from the recently acquired H+E Group

with the innovation of Gradiant Laboratories to meet the pressing needs of green hydrogen producers and excel in all operating environments.

Feedwater agnostic – provides guaranteed high-purity electrolyzed water from any feedwater input (including seawater, brackish water

and treated wastewater), making it highly adaptable to operating environments where high-quality input water is difficult to obtain;

Zero Liquid Discharge – Alleviates the challenges of managing brine by recycling all water and optionally generating zero or

minimal liquid discharge;

Industry-leading efficiency – Gradiant’s award-winning RO Infinity uses CFRO technology to deliver best-in-class performance with

minimal energy consumption, reducing overall capital requirements for renewable energy infrastructure;

Lowest total life cycle cost – from high-purity source water that exceeds regulatory requirements for all electrolyser systems, extending

their service life and reducing capital expenditures, operating expenses and total life cycle costs.

ProtiumSource uses the world’s most efficient water treatment technology in a fully integrated, balanced three-phase system Throughput

requirements for any green hydrogen plant:

Step 1 – Water Purification – Utilize Gradiant’s award-winning pre-treatment, selective contaminant extraction and RO Infinity technology

to remove a wide range of inorganic and organic contaminants from any feed water;

Step 2 – Source water production of cell-ready water – Leverage H+E’s ultrapure water knowledge and experience in ion exchange,

electronic data exchange and UV technology to produce cell-ready water that exceeds industry specifications;

Step 3 – ZLD’s integrated brine management system – uses award-winning RO Infinity and CFRO technology to recover water from the

brine during the pre-treatment and high-purity stages, achieving zero liquid discharge.

Prakash Govindan, COO of Gradiant said:

“Gradiant believes in the promise of a hydrogen-based economy and understands that producing the best electrolyzed water is critical to

realizing the full potential of green hydrogen. With the introduction of ProtiumSource, we are removing a major barrier to making green

hydrogen a fully renewable energy source, ProtiumSource It is the only complete water source solution available for green hydrogen

production companies that can obtain electrolyzed water from any water supply and provide high-purity water with the highest

efficiency and no emission impact.”

Siva Kumar Kota, Technical Director at Gradiant said:

“Our ProtiumSource solution for green hydrogen producers demonstrates the adaptability of Gradiant’s core technology in solving

key societal challenges, and our portfolio of patented technologies enables Gradiant to rapidly develop revolutionary solutions, such

as ProtiumSource, to meet the green hydrogen needs Producers’ water needs.”

ProtiumSource has been thoroughly tested and is ready for commercialization, and Gradiant is now working with new customers.
