Noble Gas Systems, a company based in Wixom, Michigan, recently achieved a significant milestone by receiving an Approval in Principle (AiP) certificate from DNV for its conformable hydrogen storage vessel. This recognition serves to validate the viability and safety of the storage system across various industries. The CEO of Noble Gas, Chris Kondogiani, expressed the importance of this achievement in demonstrating the progress made in materials, design, and manufacturing process development. The AiP certificate is an early phase validation process that independently reviews the product design against relevant standards and rules to ensure technical feasibility and compliance with safety requirements. The assessment confirmed that the design of Noble Gas's conformable hydrogen storage vessel is feasible with no significant obstacles hindering its future classification for maritime applications. Noble Gas's high-pressure storage and delivery system is versatile, capable of accommodating various compressed gases such as natural gas, air, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen. The system features a tank structure comprising a polymer liner, woven reinforcement, and a protective outer shell, ensuring safety and reliability. Notably, the system has passed stringent regulatory tests for storing high-pressure compressed hydrogen gas, with a leak-before-burst failure mode to prevent sudden gas releases. Designed with conformability in mind, Noble Gas's storage system can be tailored in different shapes and sizes, allowing seamless integration into diverse product configurations. The lightweight tanks are being developed for working pressures ranging from 350 to 700 bar, making them suitable for applications in transportation, defense, aviation, marine, and industrial gas industries. Noble Gas Systems, established in 2017, focuses on developing safe, lightweight compressed gas storage solutions. The company's innovative approach has garnered recognition, with its conformable hydrogen storage system being a finalist for the 2021 Automotive News PACEpilot Award.
