KITZ Enters the Green Hydrogen Market with PEM Electrolysis Technology
KITZ will launch its first proprietary Proton Exchange Membrane( PEM) water electrolysis hydrogen generation unit, which strengthens its efforts to promote the use of renewable energy and reduce CO 2 emissions through initiatives in green hydrogen production and supply.
Tailored to meet the needs of the Japanese market, the unit utilises PEM electrolysis technology to generate hydrogen from water, enabling a low-environmental-impact hydrogen supply when combined with renewable energy sources.
KITZ has long cultivated high-pressure and liquefied hydrogen valve technologies. With the launch of the PEM Water Electrolysis Hydrogen Generation Unit, KITZ aims to go beyond simply supplying valves and support the infra- structure for hydrogen production, transportation, storage, and utilisation through offering total solutions that contribute to the expansion of the hydrogen market.
EnerMech Helps Shape API Joint Safety Certification
EnerMech has made a major contribution to a new certification by the American Petroleum Institute( API) for Bolted Flange Joints( BFJ), designed to improve integrity, safety and reliability across the oil and gas sector.
The Certification programs qualify and test industry professionals for specialized knowledge and understanding of practical skills to ensure the safety of BFJs in critical applications. This is known to be the oil and gas industry’ s first recognized credential focused on bolted joint integrity and validates critical skills in flange joint inspection and assembly.
EnerMech’ s contribution ensures that it was shaped in line with the practical and safety critical requirements of real-world oil and gas sector requirements.
