Mitsui E&S contributes high-pressure hydrogen compressor for Japan's inaugural offshore station
Key Ideas
- Mitsui E&S is supplying a VD4-250GH-OL high-pressure hydrogen compressor for Japan's first offshore hydrogen station, catering to hydrogen-fueled ships like tugboats.
- The compressor is designed for longevity and offers stable hydrogen compression at 50 MPa and 100 kg/h flow rate, with high reliability and durability.
- Despite its high flow rate, the compressor is compact, providing space-saving benefits for various hydrogen transportation and supply processes.
- Mitsui E&S plans to continue providing compressors for hydrogen stations, hydrogen production equipment, and SAF plants, demonstrating commitment to the hydrogen market.
Mitsui E&S, a Japanese company, has secured an order from Tsuneishi Corporation to deliver a VD4-250GH-OL high-pressure hydrogen compressor for Japan's prospective first offshore hydrogen station. This station, constructed by JPN H2YDRO, aims to facilitate the supply of hydrogen to hydrogen-powered ships, particularly tugboats with hydrogen co-firing engines.
The VD4-250GH-OL compressor, known for its longevity-focused design, promises stable hydrogen compression at 50 MPa and a flow rate of 100 kg/h. This equipment is the result of Mitsui E&S' expertise in high-flow compressors for petroleum refining and chemical plants worldwide, combined with Kaji Technology Corporation's high-pressure hydrogen compression technology.
Mitsui E&S highlights the VD4-250GH-OL's compact size despite its high flow rate, making it suitable for various hydrogen-related processes, offering space-saving advantages in transportation and supply operations. The company underscores the compressor's reliability and durability, ensuring efficient hydrogen compression.
Looking ahead, Mitsui E&S plans to continue supplying compressors for hydrogen stations and hydrogen production facilities, as well as for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) plants, indicating a strong commitment to the burgeoning hydrogen market and green energy initiatives.
