Services in hydrogen

Are you considering using hydrogen as fuel for your trucks or other heavy transportation? Hydrogen-powered heavy vehicles have been shown to work well in niche and long-distance transport operations, but how do you know if it fits into your specific business, and how will it affect your economy? Get assistance from us for an analysis.

At the RISE research lab for fuel cells and electrolysers experts evaluate subcomponents such as membrane, electrodes, catalysts, bipolar plates. We also offer performance characterisation and accelerated stress tests and long term testning of single cells and short stacks.

The lifespan of fuel cells today is often determined by the lifespan of the membranes. We can help evaluate and compare the lifetime of different membrane materials in fuel cells.

Metallic materials exposed to hydrogen can exhibit degradation of their mechanical properties during their service life due to hydrogen embrittlement. Ripple-load test (RLT) together with slow strain rate testing (SSRT) and constant load testing are mechanical tests meant to assess the materials resistance to cracking in different environments.

We offer permeation test for polymeric and composite materials that are exposed to high pressure hydrogen gas environments.

We offer static material exposures in autoclaves under high pressure hydrogen environment at different temperatures.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a pervasive and dangerous issue for many types of materials, and it is especially (but not exclusively) affecting high strength steels. The determination of the susceptibility of materials to delayed fracture in the actual service environment is necessary to an appropriate materials selection.
