Abstract

This work provides an overview of R&D activities at South African Institute for Advanced Materials Chemistry (SAIAMC) on metal hydride hydrogen compression technology with a focus on engineering solutions for industrial-scale applications. A summary of layout features, as well as test / operation results are presented for industrial-scale prototypes of: (i) 1-stage H2 compressor for refueling station (50–200 bar, up to 13 Nm3/h), and (ii) 3-stage H2 compressor (3–200 bar, up to 5 Nm3/h). The developed systems provide hydrogen compression utilizing low-grade steam (T=120–140 °C) and cooling water (T=15–25 °C) available at sites of industrial customers.
