The Electrolyzer is the sole machine capable of creating Chlorine for the processing of Waste Water in Wastewater Treatment facilities and the production of Plastic in Polymerization Plants.
It can make Hydrogen without additional byproducts that cause Pollution, making it a critical component in Oil Cracking systems, Fuel Gas synthesis, and the production of Silicon (Poly) for Electronics. This machine is capable of breaking down Ammonia into Nitrogen and Hydrogen which allows for Pollution-free flaring/venting of the constituent parts.
Comparison to the Air Separator
The Electrolyzer is capable of generating Oxygen by splitting Water, though it is vastly outclassed by the Air Separator, which can create it directly from the atmosphere, in nearly every metric. Comparatively, it requires nearly quadruple the Electricity requirement (900 KW vs 250 KW), produces a fraction of the output (6 / 60 vs 36 / 60 ), and requires both Steel and Construction Parts III production lines (or trading) to erect.

Recipes
Below are all the recipes, which this building is capable of producing. Note, that some of them may be locked behind Research, and not immediately available in your game.
 | This article invokes definition of game's source data (either directly, or with one or several template invokes). Editing it will result in updates to some of the stored tables, which in turn updates automated data lists. See more. If you've found incorrect data, related to this article's topic, it is a good place to start searching for definitions, requiring updates. |
