Flow control refers to the management and measurement of liquids and gases in industrial processes. In the case of water electrolysis, hydrogen transport, storage, and processing, this primarily involves water (potable, deionized or saline), hydrogen (compressed or liquefied) and oxygen. In this section you can find news items related to the equipment used to handle, control and measure the flow of these liquids and gases, including valves, pumps, compressors, actuators, heat exchangers, instrumentation, filtration products, pipes, fittings, flanges, and other related items. If you would like to see your news release published here and in our email newsletter, please feel free to contact Matjaž Matošec.
Gloyer-Taylor Laboratories, Inc. (GTL), an aerospace engineering research and development company based in Tullahoma, Tennessee, has announced breakthrough results for its Blended Hybrid Laminate™ (BHL) composite technology for cryogenic tubes, pipes, and transfer lines.
IMI has unveiled what it claims to be one of the first high-integrity pressure protection systems (HIPPS) to protect against overpressure propagation during the hydrogen post-production process. The new HIPPS is specifically engineered to isolate the source of dangerous high pressure, instead of relieving the excess flow in the case of an overpressure event.
Chart Industries has been chosen to supply its Howden hydrogen compression solutions to support Repsol’s €657-million expansion of its Sines industrial complex in Portugal. The expansion of the Sines facility is a strategic move towards achieving 100% recyclable high-value materials from two new Polypropylene and Polyethylene plants.
Daimler Truck and Linde Engineering have inaugurated the first public sub-cooled liquid hydrogen (sLH2) pilot station in Wörth am Rhein, Germany, refueling a Mercedes-Benz GenH2 Truck prototype. With energy consumption of only 0.05 kWh/kg, the new station requires approximately 30 times less energy compared to conventional gaseous hydrogen refueling.
Landi Renzo is starting the development of an advanced electronic pressure regulator for mid- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles with hydrogen-powered internal combustion engines (ICEs). This project is widening the collaboration with the German company Bosch, one of the leading automotive suppliers worldwide.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has reported that its 90 MPa Class liquid hydrogen (LH2) pump has successfully operated for 250 hours in a long-term durability test. The test began in April 2023 at FirstElement Fuel’s Hydrogen Distribution Hub in Livermore, CA, and will continue into next year.
GSR Ventiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG has developed a new valve series for the hydrogen sector. The direct-pressure controlled valves are characterized by a long service life, achieved through the unique design of the stem seal, enabling 35% more switching cycles than comparable competitive products.
Gas distribution company SGN has selected Oxford Flow to help prove the hydrogen-readiness of existing gas network infrastructure. The companies will work together as part of SGN’s LTS Futures project, which is verifying the compatibility of Great Britain’s local transmission system (LTS) with hydrogen gas.
Nel Hydrogen has ordered three SIAD MI compressors to be combined with a new 20 MW electrolysis plant that will supply the Ovako rolling mill in Hofors, Sweden. This plant is the first in the world to use hydrogen to heat steel before hot forming, replacing the propane currently used to power the furnaces.
Ebara Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer of environmental and industrial machinery, has developed what it claims to be the world’s first liquid hydrogen booster pump for hydrogen-fired power generation. The company plans to launch its newly developed product to the market later this year.
