Unlocking a greener future with liquid hydrogen

Hydrogen holds immense potential as the fuel of a sustainable future, being entirely carbon-free and producible with renewable energy. However, transporting hydrogen from its production site to where it’s needed presents significant challenges.

 

Hydrogen has unique, challenging properties and can therefore be challenging to store and transport. In its gas form, it’s transportable with existing techniques but requires a large volume due to the low energy density.

 

By cooling the gas to extremely low temperatures, it can be liquified, resulting in compact liquid hydrogen with a high energy density, ideal for transporting large quantities.  This efficiency is a game-changer but demands sophisticated equipment capable of handling the extreme low temperatures in combination with the small molecular characteristics of liquid hydrogen.

The crucial puzzle piece

This is where our innovative JLA Liquid Hydrogen Marine Loading Arm (LH2-MLA) comes into play. This innovative piece of equipment allows us to load and unload large hydrogen carriers efficiently and safely. With vacuum-insulated piping and advanced cryogenic swivel joints, it’s designed to handle liquified hydrogen at super low temperatures protect the environment without leakage to the surroundings.

The technical specifications of this revolutionary LH2-MLA include:

  • A 12” product pipe and 16” outer vacuum pipe
  • A design temperature of -254 °C
  • A compact balanced design
  • A high flow rate capacity of up to 3000m3/hr

This innovation isn’t just a piece of tech; it’s a stepping stone to a cleaner, greener future.
