HOERBIGER supplies three HCP 500 Hydrogen Compressor Packages for Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub in Germany
The Hamburg Green Hydrogen Hub (HGHH) plans to build a new 105-megawatt hydrogen plant on the site of the former Moorburg coal-fired power plant by 2027. The aim is to produce green hydrogen for a wide range of applications in mobility and industry.
The German company Kraftanlagen Energies & Services has been commissioned to build the infrastructure around the electrolyzer. Kraftanlagen, in turn, has entrusted HOERBIGER with the delivery of three HCP 500 hydrogen compressor packages.
Kraftanlagen has decades of experience in energy technology and plant engineering and has successfully implemented numerous hydrogen projects in recent years.
At the heart of the HGHH is the HCP 500 Hydrogen Compressor Package from HOERBIGER, which ensures safe, reliable and cost-effective hydrogen compression for large scaled hydrogen applications such as trailer filling. Users benefit from an innovative and compact design as a turn key solution with fast filling capacities. With a high degree of standardization, the HCP 500 is optimized for the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO).
As the technology leader for the next generation of efficient hydrogen compressor packages with more than 130 years of experience in compression, HOERBIGER is driving the industrialization of hydrogen industry and mobility applications.
HCP 500 – flexible solution for high mass flow hydrogen compression
Utilizing Ariel Corporation’s KBH compressor, the high mass flow of the HCP 500 of over 250 kg/h makes the compressor package from HOERBIGER the ideal solution for trailer filling facilities and heavy-duty refueling stations, ensuring unmatched operational experiences for both stationary and intermittent operating conditions.
The compressor package HCP 500 is featured by HOERBIGER’s leading components such as CP valves and sealing elements that guarantee high durability and availability as well as the Electric Stepless Capacity Control System – eHydroCOM, which offers unique controllability of the compressor flow rates in terms of efficiency and precision. The eHydroCOM allows a large operating window of the compressor which ensures perfect alignment with the requirements of the electrolysers and the attached trailer filling application.
