Hydrogen compressors

Green hydrogen – the energy of the future.

Key technologies for the compression of hydrogen have been part of the product portfolio of BORSIG ZM Compression GmbH for many years. Based on decades of experience, BORSIG offers machines adapted to customer requirements in various scales and designs.

Hydrogen will play a significant role in the energy mix of the future. The transition to a green hydrogen industry is currently being driven forward at full speed. Before hydrogen can be used to the desired extent, technical challenges must be solved.

The further development of existing technologies and an extensive test procedure were realized with the partners from the HYPOS network within the framework of the MegaLyseurPlus research project.

The objective of the project is to optimize individual components of an electrolysis plant in order to make them applicable for economic use in large plants with several megawatts of capacity.

Our focus is the development of an oil-free high-pressure compressor for hydrogen. It serves as an interface to end applications, such as the refuelling of fleets of vehicles.

BORSIG ZM hydrogen compressors

Hydrogen compressors have been a major part of the machines supplied by BORSIG ZM Compression GmbH for decades. The compressors are characterized by a long service life, high wear resistance and low life cycle costs.

BORSIG ZM Compression GmbH offers compressors according to customer specifications with all necessary auxiliaries as a turnkey solution. For gases with low molecular weight, such as pure hydrogen, piston compressors in horizontal or vertical design represent the best technical solution. Additionally, integrally geared turbo compressors can achieve high volume flow rates for hydrogen-containing syngas.
