Without reliable pressure sensors, safe operation in the hydrogen industry is unthinkable. The demands on their accuracy and long-term stability are correspondingly high. However, pressure sensors also play a significant role in factors like efficiency and economy.

When it comes to systems where media — whether liquids or gases — are used under high pressure, the Spanish company Hiperbaric is indispensable. For more than 25 years, the world market leader in high-pressure technology from Burgos, in the north of the Castile-León region, has been supplying high-pressure systems (High Pressure Processing) up to 6,000 bar for the food and beverage industry as well as hot isostatic presses (HIP) needed for critical metal and ceramic components in the aerospace, energy, oil and gas, and automotive industries, as well as for medical implants. Another pillar of the company is hydrogen systems powered by renewable energies.

Hiperbaric’s compression technology enables compression up to 1,000 bar, making it suitable for compressing green hydrogen for storage or use in hydrogen filling stations — whether at 350 bar for trucks and buses or at 700 bar for the latest generation of fuel cell vehicles. The Spanish hydrogen pioneer has now commissioned around 35 hydrogen systems for various European customers.
