HYDROGEN PROJECT · FRANCE
Air Liquide Normand’Hy – Nitrogen Filters
EQUIPMENT SUPPLIED
Nitrogen Filters
DESIGN CODE
ASME VIII Div. 1
MATERIAL
Stainless Steel 304/L
A major Hydrogen project in Normandy
Air Liquide Normand’Hy is a 200 MW PEM electrolysis project in the Port-Jérôme industrial area of Normandy. It is designed to produce renewable and low-carbon hydrogen for industrial users and mobility, supporting the decarbonisation of the region’s industrial basin.
Air Liquide identifies the supply of hydrogen to TotalEnergies’ Gonfreville refinery and the development of hydrogen mobility along the Seine Axis among the project’s intended applications.
MIND Supply
MIND delivered four Nitrogen filter vessels in stainless steel 304/L for this project being the begininng of our relation with Air Liquide and our client as a supplier of pressure vessels. More vessels for this same project have been delivered later as well as for project Elygator Air Liquide in Rotterdam harbour.
