Conclusion
There ’ s no getting around it – the clean-energy future is coming , and in order to optimize its potential from production , supply , financial , and safety standpoints , it must be outfitted with equipment and systems that can meet the unique handling characteristics of the growing roster of clean-energy fuels . In that regard , LH 2 stands poised to assume an elevated role in the nation ’ s motor-fuel pool , especially in fueling large vehicles .
To achieve success , however , the world ’ s producers and suppliers of LH 2 must be fully aware of the ‘ bad ’ characteristics that are fundamental to its handling and dispensing in order to realize the ‘ good ’ that can come from its use . RegO and OPW Clean Energy Solutions have taken a positive step forward in that quest with the development of the HydrOMac ® LH 2 refueling nozzle , which has the potential to be a firstchoice technology in optimized , mainstream , and inherently safe LH 2
-refueling operations .
About OPW Clean Energy Solutions
OPW Clean Energy Solutions was formed in December 2021 when OPW acquired both ACME Cryogenics and RegO ® Products . Since then , the company has continued to expand its reach as a supplier of clean-energy fluid-handling equipment and systems , most notably with the acquisitions in 2024 of Demaco , Marshall Excelsior Company ( MEC ), and SPS Cryogenics / Special Gas Systems ( SPS-SGS ). ACME provides mission-critical cryogenics products and services that facilitate the production , storage , and distribution of cryogenic liquids and gases , while RegO offers highly engineered flow-control solutions for cryogenic and liquefied-gas markets . Demaco specializes in vacuum-insulated piping solutions , and MEC , along with its subsidiaries , develops mission-critical flow-control products for LNG and anhydrous ammonia ( NH 2
) markets . SPS- SGS manufactures vacuum-insulated pipeline systems for industrial gases . Together , these companies are taking OPW beyond conventional fueling solutions and helping define what ’ s next for alternative energy markets .
Why vacuum insulated piping ( VIP ) for LNG transfer ?
More than pipes
For a better quality of life
Vacuum insulated piping ( VIP ) will save money and time compared to conventional foam insulation :
• More effective insulation with less boil-off
• Shorter installation time on site
• Longer lifetime of pipe system
• Double containment
• Smaller pipe diameter
