Mitsui E&S to Supply High-Pressure Hydrogen Compressor for Offshore Station in Japan
Key Ideas
- Mitsui E&S Co. will provide a high-pressure, high-flow hydrogen compressor for Japan's first offshore hydrogen station, catering to the shipping sector.
- The VD4-250GH-OL compressor, known for its longevity and stable hydrogen compression, will be used to supply hydrogen to hydrogen-fueled ships.
- This compressor can handle hydrogen compression up to 50 MPa with a flow rate of 100 kg/h, showcasing efficiency and compact design compared to existing compressors.
- Mitsui E&S, with a history of manufacturing reciprocating compressors since 1961, aims to contribute to hydrogen transportation and supply with this innovative technology.
Mitsui E&S Co. has announced that they will be supplying a high-pressure, high-flow hydrogen compressor for an offshore hydrogen station in Japan. The station, constructed by JPN H2YDRO and intended for the shipping sector, will utilize the VD4-250GH-OL compressor. This compressor, designed for longevity, is specifically tailored for stable hydrogen compression and incorporates proven technologies from the petroleum refining and chemical plant sectors. Capable of compressing hydrogen up to 50 MPa at a flow rate of 100 kg/h, the VD4-250GH-OL is not only efficient but also physically smaller than traditional compressors, making it an ideal space-saving solution. Mitsui E&S, a company with a rich history in manufacturing reciprocating compressors since 1961, aims to support hydrogen transport and supply with this cutting-edge compressor. With a focus on innovation and efficiency, the VD4-250GH-OL is set to play a crucial role in enabling the use of hydrogen-fueled ships, including tugboats equipped with hydrogen co-firing engines.
