Atlas Copco launches variable speed driven hydrogen compressor Atlas Copco has launched the H2P , a hydrogen compressor capable of following the electrolysis production profile . Thanks to its speedcontrolled technology , the compressor can compensate for fluctuations in hydrogen production and ensure optimal efficiency , thereby reducing energy losses .
The H2P is available in a standardised design , which facilitates short delivery times and faster integration into existing hydrogen plants . Furthermore , it is characterised by moderate compression ratios and low temperatures , resulting in exceptionally long maintenance intervals . This ensures increased plant uptime and minimises potential downtime .
Another significant feature of the H2P is its modular concept , allowing for high flexibility and reliability when adapting to different requirements and processes in hydrogen production .
Thanks to its integrated base , the H2P also simplifies

Baker Hughes launches new Druck hydrogen pressure sensors Baker Hughes has launched new Druck hydrogenrated pressure sensors . Designed to offer longerterm stability and withstand harsh environments , the new sensors can be used in a variety of applications , including gas turbines , water electrolysis , and hydrogen filling stations .
Long-term exposure to hydrogen gas degrades the performance of a pressure sensor , specifically through hydrogen permeation and embrittlement of the isolation diaphragm , meaning that the construction of a hydrogen sensor is key to maintaining accuracy and stability . Baker Hughes ’ latest Druck hydrogen pressure sensors apply high-performance barrier coating technology to protect the sensor element from the harsh effects of hydrogen , providing customers with what the company claims to be a market-leading minimum lifespan of five years across a wide range of pressures .
Building on the popular UNIK5000 family and RPS / DPS8000 Series , Druck has launched two hydrogen pressure sensor ranges , from 700 mbar ( 10.2 psi ) to 700 bar ( 10,000 psi ).
DuPont introduces ion exchange resin for green hydrogen production DuPont has launched its first product dedicated to the production of green hydrogen – the DuPont™ AmberLite™ P2X110 Ion Exchange Resin . Designed to endure the thermal and chemical challenges presented in an electrolyzer , the resin ’ s recipe offers durable and reliable water quality that helps prevent contaminant build-up in the electrolyzer loop . These customized features , and improved removal capacity , present a differentiated option for electrolyzers with more service time than generic resins , according to the company .
