The TÜV SÜD certification validates the Blakeborough ® control valves’ compliance with stringent international standards, including ISO 15848-1, BS EN IEC 60534-4, and ISO 19880-3. These standards emphasise high durability, precision and safety under demanding conditions. Rigorous testing with 99.9 % pure hydrogen at both cryogenic and ambient temperatures confirmed the valves’ exceptional performance, meeting endurance Class A CO1 & CC1 stem leakage requirements and ensuring compliance with stringent fugitive emission standards.“ Our TÜV SÜD-certified hydrogen valves represent a significant leap forward in supporting the global energy transition,” said Steve Brayley, Managing Director of Global
Valves at Trillium Flow Technologies.“ This achievement demonstrates our expertise in delivering‘ performance-engineered’ solutions tailored to the unique challenges of hydrogen production, storage and transportation.” Blakeborough ® control valves are designed to address the critical needs of hydrogen applications, including:
• Production and storage: Supporting hydrogen purification, pressurisation and liquefaction processes
• Transportation and distribution: Ensuring safety and reliability for hydrogen transfer and storage systems
• Advanced material compatibility: Robust metallic, elastomeric and thermoplastic components tested to withstand extreme temperatures and hydrogen exposure
This certification reflects Trillium’ s dedication to providing customers with cutting-edge solutions prioritising safety, efficiency and environmental stewardship. The comprehensive TÜV SÜD audit further highlights Trillium’ s adherence to best practices in quality management, material selection and production control. Hydrogen is central to achieving net-zero carbon goals, serving as a versatile energy carrier for applications ranging from industrial processes to long-distance transportation. Trillium’ s Blakeborough ® control valves offer high reliability in these critical applications, bolstering operational efficiency and reducing emissions across the hydrogen value chain.
