Hydrogen treatment, such as H2Dry Technology
H2Dry package system:
- Most reliable gas dehydration technology in the market
- Process with closed loop cycle
- Capacities of ~ 200.000 till ~ 1.000.000 Nm³/h can be easily treated
Large scale applications in H2 production plants, H2 cavern storages and H2 pipeline infrastructures
Operating envelope:
- Volume flows: 100.000 … 1.200.000 Nm³/h H2
- H2 operating pressures: 15 … 80 barg
- H2 humidity at outlet: 20…40 mg/Nm³ H2 (-10 … -50 °C at outlet pressure)
The shift from natural gas to hydrogen needs adaption of the existing gas infrastructures. Most of the natural gas piping grid shall be repurposed for hydrogen.
Our experience in natural gas infrastructure combined with our knowhow in hydrogen production and storage is the basis of our capabilities to evaluate for H2 readiness.
The H2Dry technology is based on an innovative process that dries hydrogen by absorbing moisture using a suitable scrubbing liquid. The process allows the efficient and large-scale hydrogen treatment for the storage and subsequent on-demand injection of hydrogen into pipelines.
The storage of green electricity – i.e. electricity from renewable sources such as wind and sun – is a major challenge of this day and age. Hydrogen is an important storage medium. Electrical power is converted into hydrogen and will be stored safely and for the long term in so-called caverns in deep layers of the earth, similar as for natural gas. The hydrogen must then be dried before it can be injected into pipelines and transported further. After it is withdrawn from storage – for example from a cavern – the hydrogen is dried and then either immediately converted back into electricity or fed into the pipeline. Consumers can thus be supplied with energy as flexibly as is the case with natural gas.
