For the production of nitrogen fertiliser or for the cracking of hydrocarbons in petroleum refineries hydrogen is used.

Hydrogen is also applied in chemical processes for the production of synthetic fuels derived from gas, coal or biomass. In addition, hydrogen fuel cells as environmentally friendly energy converters are becoming increasingly important in the field of electromobility. Steam reforming is currently the most important large-scale industrial process for production of hydrogen from carbonaceous energy sources where natural gas is currently the most important raw material.

In steam generation, Quadax® butterfly valves are successfully applied at temperatures from +250°C to +300°C and pressures from 40 – 100 bar. To ensure that industrial production capacity is better adjusted to the fluctuating demand of hydrogen, energy storage systems are necessary. The gaseous hydrogen is cooled down to -253° C, compressed and thus liquefied in liquid gas storage tank. Both for the transport in gaseous as well as in the liquid state, the Quadax® butterfly valves prove their full functionality.
