Robins Air Force Base, GA
Solar-Integrated Forklift Refueling
Hydrofiller 175 Unit Produces 10 kg/day
Avālence Hydrofiller Technology
Ultra-pure H2 and O2 electrolytic
production
Low-cost liquid alkaline construction
Zero emission operation when integrated with renewable power
Generates no CO2 emissions
Seamlessly utilizes grid power as needed
Direct 3000 psi production eliminates the need for compressors and conditioners
High system reliability that allows long-term, unattended operation for seasonal energy storage and reuse

Combining H2 Applications
When using Avalence High-Pressure Hydrofillers:
All On-Site H2 Systems Require H2 Production Unit (Includes Drying)H2 Storage (if not directly feeding a process)
To Add Vehicle Fueling CapabilityH2 Dispensing Single Stage Compressor (For Applications at Pressures >3000 psi)
To Add Back-Up Power DeliveryH2 Fuel Cell
Reduces the Relative Cost of Capital Equipment by Combining Applications that Share Common Components
