HYDROGEN ENERGY

Valve applications across the hydrogen value chain.

Explore the specific isolation and control duties from hydrogen production and purification to compression, storage and delivery.

APPLICATION OVERVIEW

Four critical parts of the hydrogen energy process.

01HYDROGEN PRODUCTION

HYDROGEN PRODUCTION

Control feed, utilities and generated hydrogen.

Electrolysis and reforming systems convert water or hydrocarbons into hydrogen using tightly controlled process streams.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Water and feed gas
  • Electrolyzer balance of plant
  • Reformer process lines
  • Steam and utilities
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Hydrogen permeability, thermal cycles and purity requirements place special demands on materials and stem sealing.

VORNET APPROACH

Low-emission valves with compatible materials are selected for hydrogen, feed and utility duties.

02PURIFICATION & SEPARATION

PURIFICATION & SEPARATION

Protect hydrogen purity during separation.

PSA, membrane and drying systems remove impurities before hydrogen enters compression or downstream use.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • PSA switching valves
  • Membrane isolation
  • Dryer regeneration
  • Purge and vent lines
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Frequent cycling and small hydrogen molecules require stable seats, packing and low internal leakage.

VORNET APPROACH

Fast-cycling ball valves and low-emission globe valves support switching, isolation and purge functions.

03COMPRESSION & STORAGE

COMPRESSION & STORAGE

Isolate high-pressure hydrogen safely.

Compressors and storage banks raise and retain hydrogen pressure for transport, buffering and refueling.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Compressor suction
  • Compressor discharge
  • Cascade storage
  • Pressure relief manifolds
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

High pressure, rapid decompression and reverse flow require controlled materials, sealing and equipment protection.

VORNET APPROACH

High-pressure ball, gate and check valves provide isolation and non-return protection around compression assets.

04DISTRIBUTION & END USE

DISTRIBUTION & END USE

Deliver hydrogen to the point of use.

Pipelines, tube trailers and plant distribution systems route hydrogen to industrial users and fueling equipment.

WHERE IT IS USED
  • Hydrogen pipelines
  • Loading manifolds
  • Pressure reduction
  • User isolation
APPLICATION CHALLENGE

Leak prevention and safe pressure reduction are essential across repeated transfer and connection cycles.

VORNET APPROACH

Tight-shutoff ball valves and engineered control valves manage isolation, routing and pressure reduction.
