* Proliferating Hydrogen increases the Fractionator's conversion rate by the Proliferator's {{glow|Production Speedup}} bonus, also applying the Energy Consumption penalty. Passing through the Fractionator does '''not''' remove the Proliferator marks from the Hydrogen unless it gets converted. | * Proliferating Hydrogen increases the Fractionator's conversion rate by the Proliferator's {{glow|Production Speedup}} bonus, also applying the Energy Consumption penalty.

* The energy consumption of a Fractionator depends on the Deuterium output (or equivalently the Hydrogen Input) for Deuterium output rates below or equal to 18/m (full Mk. III Belt with Stack Size 1) the base energy consumption of 720 kW is independent of the output rate as long as it is non-zero. For Deuterium output rates above 18/min the energy consumption is given by 0.06*([Deuterium/m]-6) MW. For example a Fractionator running on a fully stacked Mk. III Belt with 72 Deuterium/m consumes 3.96 MW. When using Proliferators for {{glow|Production Speedup}} bonus the energy consumption rate is increased as usual (20%, 70% and 150% increase when using Mk. I, II., or III. Proliferator respectively). Thus the maximal energy consumption of a single Fractionator is 9.9 MW while producing 144 Deuterium/m on a fully stacked Mk. III belt of Mk. III proliferated Hydrogen. | * The energy consumption of a Fractionator depends on the Deuterium output (or equivalently the Hydrogen Input) for Deuterium output rates below or equal to 18/m (full Mk.

* At endgame, max throughput for a line of N fractionators processing 7200 stacked, proliferated hydrogen/minute is 7200 * (1 - 0.98 ** N). 14 fractionators in a line will yield an average 1773 deuterium / minute, not quite saturating an output belt. Alternately 2 lines of 6 fractionators on either side of a single output belt will yield 1643/m. | |||
