Hydrogen compressor VerHy 550 series

electricstationaryoil-free

Overview
Purpose-built vertical configuration to minimize footprint and facilitate site integration. Based on API 618 refinery and petrochemical hydrogen compression practices, the VerHy 550 is designed for oil-free hydrogen compression, high-pressure discharge up to 550 barA, and modular supply for transport and rapid installation.

Key statement
High-pressure hydrogen compression without any risk of gas contamination.

Benefits

• High capacity and industrial availability to optimize CAPEX and operational continuity
• Modular skid solution for standard transport dimensions and simplified on-site installation
• Vertical arrangement to reduce footprint and enable compact plant layouts

Features

• Oil-free modular design, 2 to 4 cylinders per vertical frame up to 550 barA
• Tandem cylinder vertical frames enabling 8+ ton/day capacity with multi-frame configurations
• Fast maintenance with vertical cylinder module swap capability to minimize downtime
• Reliability >99.95% and availability >98.5% (can exceed 99.0% with module swap)

Applications

• Hydrogen refuelling stations
• Filling of high/low-pressure tube trailers
• Hydrogen storage and bulk transfer for petrochemical/refinery sites
