How does Ä¢¹½tv support hydrogen systems and infrastructures with a unique, multidisciplinary approach?
In the push for alternative energy sources, hydrogen technologies have emerged as a promising solution, albeit, not without technical challenges. Ä¢¹½tv's multidisciplinary teams of engineers, process safety experts, metallurgists, and chemical, mechanical, electrical, and electrochemical engineers are uniquely suited to tackle the complex technical challenges inherent to hydrogen systems. Ä¢¹½tv is a leader in providing engineering design reviews, failure and risk analyses for compressed and liquefied fuel systems and facilities, and metallurgical and electrochemical evaluations for the effective integration of hydrogen into the wider energy landscape.
Our consultants have extensive knowledge and experience in areas of process safety management (PSM), power generation, automotive systems, aerospace systems, and electric and gas utilities, offering a thorough understanding of the challenges involved in integrating and implementing hydrogen technology across applications — whether in full-scale unit operation at a chemical facility or in portable, carbon-free power sources for various modes of transportation and consumer electronics. We also have experience with hydrogen generation, blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, hydrogen transport and storage, hydrogen safety, and consumption in industrial processes and fuel cells.
Services
For 50+ years, we’ve thrived on solving unstructured problems that require bespoke solutions. Some of our services include:
• Safety, hazard, and risk studies
• Quantitative risk analyses (QRAs) for hydrogen generation processes, hydrogen storage, fueling systems, and fuel cell systems and vehicles
• Investigation of hydrogen fires, hydrogen explosions, or hydrogen equipment failures
• Metallurgical studies examining corrosion, embrittlement, and methanization in hydrogen systems and fuel cells
• Evaluation of hydrogen generation, storage, distribution, and transport systems
• Evaluation of hydrogen fueling and fuel cell systems for automotive, rail, marine, and aerospace applications
• Investigation of fuel cell failures
• Evaluation of performance metrics related to contractual disputes for hydrogen technologies and fuel cells
• Intellectual property consulting for hydrogen technologies, such as electrolyzers, fuel cells, liquefaction technologies, and ammonia conversion systems
