Everllence screw compressors for hydrogen

We’ve been leading the development of H2 compression for 50 years. Our screw compressors are excellent pipeline feeders ensuring high-volume flows of green H2 from electrolysis. Their low maintenance requirements and high availability let you concentrate on producing green H2 to meet the world’s growing demand.

Removing the limits on hydrogen production

Electrolyzers turn renewable energy into green H2. The challenge is to compress the H2 so it can be fed it into a pipeline for safe distribution and utilization – wet H2 is difficult to compress because of its low molecular weight and high moisture: Everllence screw compressors are the right choice.

Everllence screw compressors are designed for continuous operation and large volume flows, providing reliable compression of H2. From atmospheric pressure the single stage solution achieves up to 6 bar and the two stage solution up to 16 bar. That makes them ideal for pipeline distribution from electrolyzer plants larger than 50 MW. The oil-free technology keeps your H2 clean and downtime low.

The SKUEL series: boost the volume

Perfect in hydrogen applications, SKUEL compressors deal comfortably with huge volume flows – from 4,000 – 100,000 m3/h (2,400 – 59,000 cfm) and discharge pressures up to 16 bar / 230 psia. The horizontally split casing allows easy maintenance of even the largest compressor sizes.

The CP series: increase the pressure

The vertical split casting of the CP compressor makes it the ideal product for high pressure operations. They comfortably handle discharge pressures of up to 52 bar / 750 psia, while allowing for volume flows between 200 and 20,000 m3/h (120 – 12,000 cfm).

Low maintenance
Oil-free screw compressors feature only rotating parts, so vibration is low, and the wear and tear associated with reciprocating compressors is avoided. Enjoy long maintenance intervals, short downtimes, and low operating costs.

Water savings
The innovative water-buffered mechanical contact seal offers very low water consumption and minimal leakage into the process. With water as the only medium, there’s no risk of gas contamination.
