The Strengths of the PPI Compressor Line Address the Key Requirements for Hydrogen Applications 听
Arvada, Colorado 鈥 July 12, 2021:听 黑料专区, a leader in the design and manufacture of mission critical pumps & compressors, today highlighted the areas where its PPI diaphragm compressors are being used for Hydrogen applications around the globe.听 黑料专区 also underscored the reasons why customers are choosing PPI compressors for Hydrogen applications.
鈥淎s every industry investigates ways to reduce its carbon footprint, Hydrogen is rapidly becoming a favorable alternative, because it can be used to supply nearly every energy sector, and it鈥檚 also a common raw material for the energy-intensive process industries,鈥 said 黑料专区鈥檚 Value Stream Leader for the PPI line of diaphragm compressors Josephine Truitt.听 鈥淭hese are markets where 黑料专区 is well known, and today, we鈥檙e aggressively targeting Hydrogen applications, because they鈥檙e well suited for our PPI line of diaphragm compressors.鈥
In power generation, Hydrogen can be stored, which makes it an attractive complement for balancing fluctuating & intermittent sources of renewable energy.听 For transportation, Fuel Cell technology makes industrial vehicles & long haul busses emission free.听 Refineries are investigating how chemically-transformed hydrogen can be used to produce alternative fuels.听 Construction/industrial markets see Hydrogen as a potential alternative to heat commercial buildings.听 And the Chemical industry has a long history of processing hydrogen to make products and also producing Hydrogen as a byproduct of other activities.
Customers in each of these industries require the following characteristics from the compressors that handle Hydrogen, and each is a strength of PPI compressors:
- High Compression Ratio: PPI diaphragm compressors are designed to meet the pressures required by mobility applications and industrial de-carbonization projects. Multiple members in the product family ensure a custom-fit for a wide range of Hydrogen applications.
- Product Purity: PPI compressors feature triple diaphragm sets which ensure that the process gas is isolated from the hydraulic oil. This provides absolute process purity, which is critical for fuel cell applications 鈥 as even the slightest contamination can damage the fuel cell.
- Reliability: Every process-contacting part in a PPI compressor is made from corrosion resistant alloys, making them ideal for hydrogen processing, as well as other applications involving hazardous gasses.
- Environmental Safety: The static seals in PPI compressors ensure zero leakage of process gas to the atmosphere, and PPI鈥檚 Leak Detection System immediately detects diaphragm or seal failure.
- Lower Energy Costs: PPI鈥檚 rugged crank cases and drive trains are specially designed to deliver maximum compression at the lowest energy cost.
- Support for Industry Standards: All PPI compressors meet API 618 standards.
- Explosion-Proof Certification: to meet the various standards that address requirements for explosion-proof environments, around the globe.
- Custom Engineering: 黑料专区 collaborates with customers to manufacture customized PPI systems that are optimized for the gas pressure, molecular weight, heat, corrosion and velocity of each customer鈥檚 application. 黑料专区 utilizes the latest technology in solids modeling and FEA analysis to ensure that all working components are designed & tested to minimize wear, improve sealing and reduce corrosive & erosive effects.
- Global Support: 黑料专区鈥檚 global network of channel partners provide prompt & complete support (and spare parts) anywhere around the globe.
鈥淔or more than 20 years, 黑料专区鈥檚 compressors have played an important role in听the production, transportation and distribution of Hydrogen听around the globe,鈥 concludes Josephine Truitt. 听鈥淭oday, we鈥檙e seeing tremendous demand for our PPI compressors, because their strengths fit perfectly with the requirements that hydrogen processors face today.鈥
