Vallourec’s Delphy Solution for Hydrogen Storage
Vallourec’s Delphy solution is a game changer for hydrogen storage due to several innovative features:
- Unique Underground Vertical Design: Delphy uses a novel underground vertical system, which sets it apart from existing hydrogen storage solutions. This design involves storing pressurized hydrogen in long pressure vessels made from pipe assemblies, housed in excavated cavities between 5 and 10 meters in diameter and up to 100 meters deep.
- Safety and Capacity: It is designed to store between 1 and 100 metric tons of hydrogen, ensuring maximum safety conditions. This capacity addresses the need for mid-range hydrogen storage, filling a gap in the market.
- Modular and Compact: The modular design makes it suitable for challenging industrial environments, providing a compact and safe solution for large-scale storage. This modularity allows for easier installation and maintenance in diverse settings.
- Innovation in Materials: Delphy utilizes hydrogen-resistant tubes and connections developed by Vallourec, enhancing the system’s durability and reliability. This technology showcases corrosion-resistant solutions, crucial for hydrogen storage.
- Contribution to Green Hydrogen: By facilitating large-scale storage, Delphy supports the production and use of green hydrogen, aligning with global efforts to increase green hydrogen production and reduce carbon emissions.
