Independent renewable hydrogen producer pHYnix has selected Howden, a leading global provider of mission critical air and gas handling products, technologies and services, to supply two hydrogen diaphragm compressors for Vitale plant. This facility is the first commercial-scale 10 MW renewable hydrogen production plant in Spain, and is one of the largest electrolysis projects under construction in Europe.Enabled with Howden Uptime, the diaphragm compressors consist of a booster and a high-pressure compressor that will compress the hydrogen from the electrolyser into the gas infrastructure (from 30 bar to 60 bar) and into tube trailers (from 60 bar to 380 bar).In addition to the diaphragm technology, the maintenance service is decisive for the selection of Howden compressors. In particular, Howden Uptime's continuous monitoring ensures the security and safety required by the plant.Vitale is under construction and will produce 1,450 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year from 2024. Thanks to this, pHYnix will meet its objectives of distributing green hydrogen in Spain and contributing to the decarbonisation of the most critical sectors: industry and transport.
