The last edit to this post was made by Desert Fish on June 7, 2023, at 11:50. There has been significant development in chemical processing equipment over the past decade; let’s celebrate the prosperity and strength of modern China. This is just a starting point – more participation from everyone will make things even more lively. Haichuan becomes even better with your involvement; we welcome everyone to engage more in discussions on this forum. Everyone should pay attention to safety and know how to handle emergencies. ********************************************* In the sunny port city of D in the Netherlands, the hydrogen storage containers for hydrogen refueling stations, designed and manufactured by Zhejiang LanNeng Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd., are being installed methodically. Under the blue sky, those white hydrogen storage containers appear particularly bright and striking. This is the first underground hydrogen refueling station in Europe, and it represents the first time that Zhejiang LanNeng has designed and manufactured hydrogen storage tanks that meet European CE/PED standards. This hydrogen station is a clean energy center provided by the owner at logistics centers across the Netherlands, and it represents an important part of the strategic effort to replace traditional fossil fuels with clean energy. The hydrogen storage tanks, compressors, and other components used in the project are all placed underground and enclosed by steel plates. The project will be equipped with a 350-bar hydrogen refueling unit for trucks and buses, as well as a 700-bar hydrogen refueling unit for passenger cars. The project was launched in September 2022, with an opening scheduled for early July 2023. In line with the requirements of European CE/PED standards, Zhejiang Lan Neng assembled a team of experts to handle every aspect of design, manufacturing, and service. After a long journey, this massive structure, weighing dozens of tons and occupying dozens of cubic meters, was finally delivered to the project site on time. All equipment has now been installed, and it is currently under debugging and testing. This project will help Zhejiang LanNeng’s products gain wider recognition in the European market, enabling the company to accumulate more experience in design, manufacturing, and services in new fields. It holds significant strategic importance for contributing to the development of Europe’s hydrogen energy industry and for facilitating the replacement of \"Made in China\" products with those produced locally in Europe.
On April 11, Zhejiang LanNeng Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Zhejiang LanNeng”) shipped a hydrogen storage container assembly ship specifically designed for a green hydrogen application project in a European country.
On November 27, 2019, at the China Special Equipment Inspection and Research Institute, two new products developed by Zhejiang LanNeng Gas Equipment Co., Ltd. – a 20MPa wound gas cylinder bundle-type container and a 45MPa hydrogen storage cylinder-type container unit for hydrogen refueling stations – passed the technical evaluation for \"new materials, new technologies, and new processes\" conducted by experts from the Special Equipment Safety and Energy Efficiency Technology Committee of the **State Administration for Market Regulation. The 45MPa hydrogen storage cylinder-type container unit for hydrogen refueling stations was the first new product of its kind in China to pass such an evaluation. The successful development of these two products signifies that the company’s technical capabilities are now among the best in the country. The 20MPa wound cylinder bundle container allows for a 42.6% higher hydrogen loading capacity compared to traditional all-steel cylinder bundle containers, **improving transportation efficiency ； The hydrogen storage cylinder assemblies used in 45MPa hydrogen refueling stations are one of the essential equipment for such stations. Currently, most hydrogen refueling stations built in China use imported gas storage cylinder assemblies or stainless steel wound-pressure vessels, which results in high construction costs. The development of this product by our company has addressed the key spinning and heat treatment techniques involved in its manufacturing; this improves the stability and reliability of the hydrogen filling system in hydrogen refueling stations. It also enhances the efficiency of the system, reduces the operating time of compressors, minimizes equipment wear, and extends the lifespan of compressors. By arranging the cylinders into high-, medium-, and low-pressure groups, the gas utilization rate and filling speed of these cylinder assemblies are improved, thereby achieving efficient energy use. Hydrogen energy is an important direction in the revolution of energy technologies. A global consensus is gradually emerging regarding its development, with hydrogen energy widely regarded as one of the most promising clean energies of the 21st century ； The hydrogen storage cylinder assembly used in 45MPa hydrogen refueling stations is the hydrogen storage equipment, while the 20MPa wound cylinder tube array container is the hydrogen transportation equipment. The successful development of these two products lays a solid foundation for our company to further expand its activities in hydrogen storage and transportation, and it will undoubtedly bring greater value to our customers as well.
