Empowering the Hydrogen Economy with Precision Flow Control

Hydrogen stands at the forefront of the global energy transition — clean, versatile, and increasingly cost-effective. As industries pivot toward decarbonization, SAMSON provides the critical flow control technologies that ensure safety, efficiency, and reliability across the entire hydrogen value chain.

 

Why Hydrogen? Why SAMSON?

Green hydrogen, produced from renewable energy sources, offers a zero-emission alternative to fossil fuels. Its applications span from clean mobility and power generation to chemical processing and energy storage.

SAMSON's extensive experience in flow control positions us as a trusted partner in hydrogen applications. Our valves and regulators are engineered to withstand hydrogen's unique challenges, including material embrittlement and extreme pressures and temperatures, ensuring long-term operational integrity.

Hydrogen Production – Electrolysis

In electrolysis, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity. Precise control of gases and liquids is vital for efficiency and safety.

These valves have been successfully implemented in projects like the MPREIS hydrogen plant in Austria, which powers bakery ovens and a fleet of fuel cell trucks.

Energy Storage and Grid Balancing

Hydrogen enables the storage of excess renewable energy, balancing supply and demand.

Our valves ensure accurate control in systems like redox flow batteries, facilitating efficient energy storage and retrieval.

Industrial Applications – Ammonia Production

Hydrogen is a key feedstock in ammonia synthesis, essential for fertilizers and as a potential energy carrier.

Liquefaction and Transportation

Hydrogen liquefaction uses multi-stage cooling via the Joule-Thomson effect and Claude process, and is shipped by tanker or truck—SAMSON’s –253 °C-rated control equipment has proven reliably in service for years.

Hydrogen Refueling Stations

To reduce its volume, hydrogen is stored as a liquid. During vehicle refueling, it is evaporated and compressed before entering the tank.

SAMSON's self-operated regulators are widely used at refueling stations to control pressure during evaporation.
