The Netherlands is determined to transition entirely to sustainable energy sources by 2050. In this pursuit of climate neutrality, hydrogen plays a significant role. Therefore, the government encourages the use of hydrogen through subsidies for hydrogen projects and hydrogen refuelling stations, among other initiatives. Our infrastructure enables efficient hydrogen transport and storage in large quantities. In this article, we take a closer look at how hydrogen contributes to a greener world and how to safely store and transport hydrogen.
Hydrogen as a sustainable energy source
To meet the European climate goals and make the Netherlands climate-neutral by 2050, there is a focus on a sustainable mix of energy sources, including renewable electricity and heat. Hydrogen is pivotal in this context because not all aspects of our energy system can be made sustainable with electricity alone. Sectors such as industry require high temperatures, which electricity cannot always provide. Furthermore, there is a need for sustainable energy when solar and wind energy are unavailable. The government is committed to furthering the development of sustainable hydrogen production and application.
Safe storage and transportation of hydrogen
Hydrogen is an extremely light and highly flammable gas, and it is used under pressure of up to 700 bar in mobility applications. Like any other gas, it is essential to handle it with care during production, storage, transport, and usage. The tanks used for hydrogen storage must meet specific and strict requirements. Hydrogen can be stored in various ways: as a gas under high pressure, in liquid form at extremely low temperatures, and even in chemical compounds. Incorrect storage can lead to the risk of explosions and gas leaks, posing significant security risks. To minimize these risks, it is essential for storage tanks to be both robust enough to withstand high pressure and be hermetically sealed to prevent leaks.
Production and design of high-quality storage tanks
The production of tanks for hydrogen storage is a complex process that demands precision and expertise. These tanks must not only withstand the high pressure of liquid hydrogen but also be completely gas-tight to prevent leaks. Specialized welding and precise material selection are crucial to meeting these requirements. Our certified professionals provide custom tanks and pressure vessels of the highest quality and safety, allowing you to invest in emerging hydrogen technology with confidence.

Enhancing the performance of the world’s energy industry, that is the mission of Technip Energies.
We are proud to assist Technip Energies in their commitment to transform processes at their clients locations in order to drive the transition to a low-carbon future.
For an on-going project, OMT is manufacturing Mixing Tees and piping, which will find their way into the production process and are manufactured according the ASME B31.3 design code and PED2014/68/EU regulation.
The products are manufactured from #lowalloyed #chromiumm and #molybdenum) carbon steel SA-335 P22 and SA-234 WP22, making the products suitable for service in high temperatures. In order to ensure a perfect quality, several steps are taken by OMT during the production process, like:
– Full material traceability;
– Pre-heating of the material before welding;
– A post weld heat-treatment;
– Full check by use of several non-destructive test methods;
– Hydrostatic testing;
– Application of a coating for protection in aggressive/high temperature environments.
At this stage the products are ready for the final stage; Application of the coating
Another piece of fine craftsmanship from OMT.
A few weeks into 2021 this large #superduplex #pressurevessel project is gradually taking shape. A great achievement of our colleagues who are involved in this project.
We’ve started this project in mid 2020 and within a few weeks the three #vessels will leave our workshop, on their way to the end-user.
Stay tuned because soon we will be posting some nice content on this project.

As the end of the year is almost there and everybody is preparing for some quality time a home, we are also closing our company for the last week of the year.
We will be back to partnering with you from the 4th of January.
On behalf of everyone at OMT, we already want to wish you and your employees happy days, with the hope that 2021 will bring us all good luck and health!

Nice shots taken by Stefan Koops of work being done in our factory. It’s the last stretch till the end of the year and we still have some beautifull projects to finish.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend! #manufacturing #roboticwelding #daftrucks #work #staysafe #projects #welding
We like to see it as another piece of fine art.
One of our colleagues (Corné Hollemans) is laying his hand on a large super duplex pressure vessel with a wall thickness of 15 mm. With GTAW he is applying the second of three welds which are needed to finish this parts of the project.
