Spanish high-pressure specialist showcases Plug-&-Play compressor groups reaching up to 950 bar, backed by more than 50 units installed across Europe
Hiperbaric, a global leader in high-pressure technologies, will exhibit its full range of containerized hydrogen compression solutions at the Hydrogen Technology Expo Europe, taking place October 20–22 at Hamburg Messe, Germany. The Spanish manufacturer will be at booth 7D25, Hall B7.
The company will present its complete compression systems, designed to support the scale-up of decarbonized mobility and industrial-scale hydrogen storage across Europe.
Two-Stage Intensifier Technology Built for the Hydrogen Value Chain
Hiperbaric has sold more than 50 compressor groups in the European market to date, consolidating its position among the region’s established hydrogen compression suppliers. Its equipment is built around a proprietary two-stage piston intensifier cylinder — the core component of every compressor group — paired with an oil-free design that eliminates the risk of lubricant contamination and helps preserve the hydrogen purity required downstream.
Each containerized unit integrates the intensifier cylinder alongside a hydraulic system, refrigeration circuit, venting system, and an instrumentation and control panel, delivered as a factory-assembled, plug-and-play skid that shortens on-site installation and commissioning time. Depending on configuration, suction pressures range from 20–40 bar up to discharge pressures of 950 bar, with the equipment designed and certified in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX) on equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres and Directive 1999/92/EC on risks from explosive atmospheres.
Proven and Versatile Plug-&-Play Technology for the Entire Value Chain
Hiperbaric’s expertise is reflected in a range of safe, efficient, and reliable “Plug-&-Play” systems that adapt to various production levels and demand. Its compressor groups, which feature innovative proprietary piston compressors and an oil-free design to ensure high hydrogen purity, offer great versatility with suction and discharge pressures ranging from 20 bar to 950 bar.
These technical capabilities allow Hiperbaric to cover the main applications of hydrogen compression:
- Hydrogen Refueling Stations (HRS): Supply to vehicles at pressures between 350 and 700 bar.
- Tube Trailer Filling: Compression up to 500 bar for efficient gas transport.
- High-Pressure Storage: Solutions for accumulation in mobile or stationary tanks, or underground caverns (200-900 bar).
The Trust of Major Players in the Energy and Industrial Sectors
Hiperbaric’s technology is already driving key green hydrogen projects across Europe. Its customer portfolio includes prominent names in the development of refueling stations (HRS) such as Iberdrola, TMB, Calvera, and Framatome (Covalion); in transport infrastructure (Pipeline) with companies like Lhyfe, Enagás, and Acciona; and in the industrial sector with giants like voestalpine and Iberdrola.
Meet the Hiperbaric Experts in Hamburg To delve deeper into the capabilities of its equipment and explore new synergies, Hiperbaric will have a specialized technical and commercial team at its booth:
