IMI recently unveiled a groundbreaking high integrity pressure protection system (HIPPS) designed for hydrogen post-production processes. This system aims to ensure safety by preventing overpressure propagation, effectively protecting pipelines and downstream components during hydrogen storage and before transportation to the point of use. By isolating the source of high pressure rather than relieving excess flow, the HIPPS enhances safety and promotes safe storage practices. IMI's HIPPS system, with failsafe valves activated within two seconds of a potential overpressure event, offers increased safety and availability, ultimately improving yield and revenue potential for hydrogen producers. IMI's commitment to safety and innovation in the hydrogen sector is further demonstrated through their suite of technologies, including the customizable VIVO PEM electrolyser and critical service valves for hydrogen applications. As highlighted by Andrea Pusceddu, IMI's Business Development Director for Hydrogen, this HIPPS system is a significant step towards ensuring the safety of production teams and equipment, especially in industries like heavy industry and long-distance transport, where hydrogen plays a crucial role in reducing CO2 emissions. The integration of this HIPPS system into hydrogen production facilities not only enhances safety but also contributes to increased uptime and revenue potential, aligning with the growing global demand for hydrogen in various sectors.
