Hydrogen Rental Skids

In recent years, FT Gas has provided a fleet of rental units for gas to power and gas to energy. We are now strengthening our natural gas rental units with our hydrogen regulation modules. Our latest lease offering is a number of hydrogen gas pressure let-down stations which are being custom built and which are skid mounted with suitable lifting lugs. The units go from high pressure down to millibar and come with regulators and slam shut valves. As part of the rental service, the pressure reduction stations are delivered to site assembled and ready to operate. The let-down stations will undergo on-site leak tests.

Government Trials for Green Energy

We have supplied and installed three hydrogen rental skids for use in government trials for green energy. The initial rental period was for 6 months with a view to becoming permanent. The two skids are fully stainless steel, are CE marked and PED approved. They feature the high quality Gascat range of regulators and gas safety products including:

• Domus: high pressure / high flow regulator family capable of handling all types of gases; our flagship hydrogen valve.
• Horus: versatile high flow, low noise 1 to 10 inch class 150 to 900, regulating from 0.7bar to 100bar.
• GIPS FC slam shut valve: fast and bubble-tight security shut-off valve (0 to 15 bar)

Our natural gas rental units have demonstrated the high quality of the build, coating and testing regime carried out by FT Gas Control Systems. Often the skids are outside over winter, uncovered and yet, when they are decommissioned and returned, they remain in excellent condition and can be rented out again.

All Gascat valves are pre-trimmed for a hydrogen mix and large numbers of them have been supplied to the Dutch market where they are already using a hydrogen mix.
