OUR TECHNOLOGY

Arco stands out for its profound expertise in electrochemical and technological field, which has been successfully built over the past tow decades

 

All key components of fuel cells and electrolyzer are designed and manufactured in-house

PRODUCTION OF THE CELL'S ELECTROCHEMICAL CORE

  • Formulation of catalytic inks

  • Production of high-surface-area electrodes

  • Production of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA)

PRODUCTION OF STACKS

  • Production of frames

  • Production of bipolar plates (BPP)

The fuel cell systems sold by Arco cover a power range from 3 to 240 kilowatts. Arco offers industrial AEM electrolyzer and refueling stations for vehicle fleets, complete with storage and dispensers.

In Addition to offering a portfolio of standardized products, we develop custom solutions for clients and support them during the integration phase.

OUR PATENTS

Green hydrogen is the future, and Arco is one of the few companies developing and producing both critical technologies: the generation of clean, zero-carbon hydrogen through AEM electrolyzer and PEM fuel cell technology, the heart of the new hydrogen economy.

Through our innovative patents, we make hydrogen economically accessible, leading the way to a sustainable, zero CO2 emissions future.

DIRECTLINK 

DIRECTLINK ™ our patented innovation, seamlessly integrates PEM fuel cells and lithium-ion batteries achieving an impressive 15% boost in energy efficiency compared to leading fuel cell systems, all at a cost savings of approximately 20%.

HYDROFORCE 

Our HYDROFORCE™ patent allows AEM electrolyzer stacks to reach operating pressures of up to 80 bar without the use of expensive materials, also improving performance and reliability.
It ensures easier maintenance, leak control, and inherent safety measures.

HYDROREC 

Integrating our unique HYDROREC™ technology into our systems, we ensure full utilization of the hydrogen consumed, eliminating energy wasting.

MEGA 

In 2001, our team developed the MEGA™ (Membrane Electrode Gasketed Assembly).
This invention made it possible to industrialize and ensure reliability of PEM fuel cell production, as well as enable maintenance. Nowadays, every major PEM fuel cell manufacturer uses MEGA technology.

HP-RFCS™

Arco's proprietary HP-RFCS™ (High Performance Regenerative Fuel Cell System) design for space applications offers multiple advantages, including an 80-bar working gas pressure, differential pressure between EL and FC, reduced corrosion, and simplified operation.
Additionally, the system is more compact and less bulky, ensuring ease of maintenance and leak control. Its excellent heat management and inherent safety make it an ideal choice for space.
