Chevron recently ordered four hydrogen transport trailers it plans to use for distributing high-pressure gaseous hydrogen for power generation, transportation, and industrial applications in the western United States.
BayoTech says it will deliver the new HyFill trailers to Chevron early next year.
“With the record demand for hydrogen molecules, industrial gas suppliers are seeking solutions to safely and efficiently distribute large amounts of hydrogen in a compact package,” said Adam Penque, senior vice president of sales and BayoGaaS hydrogen hubs. “We are proud Chevron has chosen our high-pressure transport solutions to support their hydrogen distribution network.”
Since 2001, BayoTech has delivered more than 600 high-pressure transport and storage systems to leading manufacturers and distributors of industrial gases for hydrogen, natural gas, nitrogen, and helium applications, the company said.
Using high-capacity Type III composite cylinders, HyFill bulk hydrogen transport trailers carry up to three times more compressed gaseous hydrogen per load than traditional steel tube trailers, BayoTech added. Higher payloads lower transportation costs and increase driver productivity. Premier safety features include rapidly venting cylinders, proprietary thermally activated pressure relief devices, welded manifold connections for leak prevention, and emergency shutdown systems for National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliance while systems are on site.
