The collaboration between Plug Power and Burckhardt Compression aims to accelerate the production and delivery of green hydrogen by leveraging specialized compressors designed for the unique challenges of handling this clean fuel. Green hydrogen, produced through electrolysis powered by renewable sources, offers a promising solution for decarbonizing industries and transportation. However, the lightweight nature of hydrogen necessitates compression or liquefaction for efficient transportation, a challenge that the partnership addresses through innovative compressor design. Burckhardt Compression's dry running piston compressors, customized for hydrogen applications, boast high efficiency and reliability. The compressors use proprietary polymer materials to ensure a contaminant-free operation, with minimal maintenance requirements, enhancing uptime for hydrogen production facilities. The design features large diameter pistons, pressure packing, and a monitoring system by PROGNOST Systems, providing operators with real-time data for predictive maintenance and optimized performance. The successful delivery of the initial order by Burckhardt Compression, along with the expansion of their team and assembly capacity in Waller, Texas, highlights the partnership's commitment to meeting project demands efficiently. The collaboration not only focused on equipment design but also on capacity-building, with the addition of experienced personnel and training programs to enhance expertise in hydrogen compression technology. By demonstrating reliability, efficiency, and adaptability, Burckhardt Compression has established itself as a leader in the green hydrogen market, offering tailored solutions for the evolving needs of hydrogen production. The partnership's success underscores the importance of specialized equipment and expertise in driving the transition towards a sustainable hydrogen economy.
