Hydrogen distribution

Metener Service provides multiple distribution options for different use cases.

Containers

Larger scale storage that can be transported with a plug-and-play option to connect quickly.

Bundles

With a wide-variety of bundle options with a bar range from 0-350, 355-555, and 560-1100.

Pressure reduction system overview

A pressure reduction system (PRS) is equipment used to lower the pressure of a gas safely and in a controlled way before it moves to the next stage of a process.
Think of it like a water tap for gas: upstream → Gas is at very high pressure, downstream → equipment needs gas at a lower, controlled pressure and the PRS reduces the pressure smoothly and keeps it stable.

Typical pressures of hydrogen solutions:
Electrolyzer: 30 bar
Transport container: 350 bar
Transport bundle/bottle: 200 bar
Passenger car: 700 bar
Bus / truck: 350 bar
Appliances & fuel cells: <1 bar

Hydraulic compression solutions

A hydraulic compression booster is equipment that uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to push a piston that compresses hydrogen gas to very high pressures for storage or fueling.

Reasons for using a hydraulic compression booster

1

High pressure capacity

They can reach extremely high pressures (even above 1,000 bar).

2

Better control

Hydraulic systems allow smooth, precise pressure control, which can be also monitored and adjusted remotely.

3

Reduced contamination risk

The hydrogen and hydraulic oil are separated by seals, so the gas stays clean.

4

Compact design

They are often smaller than multi-stage mechanical compressors for the same pressure range.

Grid Entry Unit (GEU)

A grid entry unit (GEU) is a facility where hydrogen is injected into a gas transmission or distribution grid in a safe, controlled, and compliant manner. These are essentially “gateways” between a production plant and the gas network itself.
