Hydrogen storage is a critical component in enabling fuel cell systems for stationary power generation, industrial applications, and transportation. Our systems are engineered for safety, structural integrity, and integration flexibility.

Type I Steel Hydrogen Cylinders

Design & Construction

Manufactured entirely from high-strength steel, Type I cylinders are designed to ensure maximum durability under high-pressure conditions. Unlike composite alternatives, the all-steel construction provides superior mechanical durability and resistance to deformation.

  • Material Integrity: Constructed using high-quality alloy steels (including SS-316 or Carbon Steel) specifically selected to minimize the risk of Hydrogen Induced Cracking (HIC) and surface embrittlement.
  • Thermal & Fire Resistance: The steel structure maintains integrity under elevated temperatures and offers higher fire resistance compared to composite cylinders.
  • Lifecycle Management: Cylinders can be periodically tested, inspected (via standard NDT methods), and recertified in accordance with international standards, ensuring a long service life.
  • Sustainability: The units are 100% recyclable, supporting circular economy strategies.

Modular Bundle & Cascade Systems

System Architecture

For applications requiring higher volume capacities, Ergil offers Bundle Systems—a modular solution where multiple Type I cylinders are connected in parallel11. These systems are designed for ease of scalability and efficient space management.

  • Integrated Manifold: Ensures homogeneous gas distribution and equal pressure across all cylinders, providing a continuous gas supply
  • Configuration: Bundles typically range from 12 to 36 cylinders, offering a hydrogen storage capacity of up to ~46 kg per bundle.
  • Fixed Cascade Systems: Ideal for stationary applications such as hospitals, laboratories, and industrial facilities. These systems connect cylinders in a series or staged layout to ensure uninterrupted flow for critical operations
  • Safety Monitoring: Systems are equipped with pressure relief valves, leak detection, and continuous monitoring of pressure and temperature parameters.

Pipeline Pigging System FAQ's

Hydrogen Storage Solutions 3

The components of a pigging system typically include the pig launcher, the pig receiver, the pig (cleaning device), pipeline, and the system of valves and traps facilitating the pig's movement through the pipeline.

what is pigging systemPipeline Pigging Systems refer to the process and equipment used for the cleaning and maintenance of pipelines using a device called a pig.
pigging process work

Pipeline transport uses a practice called pigging. It is the use of pipeline inspection gauges or instruments, commonly called pigs or skimmers, to perform many maintenance operations. It is an important process that is done without stopping the product flow in the pipeline. Pigging is used to clean and maintain large diameter pipelines, especially in the oil industry.

is it necessary to pig a pipeline

The pigging process involves inserting the pig into a pig launcher, which is then launched into the pipeline. The pig travels along the pipeline, cleaning it or inspecting it as it moves along. It is then received at the other end by the pig receiver.

Welcome to the forefront of pipeline innovation! Our company is dedicated to revolutionizing the industry with our state-of-the-art "Pipeline Pigging System". With a focus on quality and affordability, we ensure that each component of our pigging systems is crafted to perfection.
