As emerging technologies for wind to hydrogen projects ramp up, Axair Fans seen a rise in enquiries regarding hydrogen exhaust for gas group IIC or IIB + hydrogen. In many instances it is necessary to integrate an ATEX fan whilst in some systems Axair can advise of methods of integrating an alternative fan and avoiding the requirement for ATEX certified industrial fan components. The company’s application knowledge covers a range of renewable technology systems including those of renewable energy generation such as wind farms. Axair’s ATEX certified fans are suitable for IIC gas groups for the safe and effective removal of hydrogen gas.

d. North Ridge Pumps – Pumps capable of handling eco-friendly fuels and electrification
We are entering an era of increased electrification, driven partly by the ban on diesel and petrol vehicles expected in 2030, but also an ever-increasing swell in pricing at the fuel court. With pricing reaching the highest levels on record, electrification of fleets and plant equipment is becoming increasingly attractive. EFuels or Electricity Generated Fuels are synthetically created fuels, manufactured utilising renewable energy and synthetic hydrocarbon gasses such as CO² mixed with biofuel to create fuels with a Net Zero Carbon Footprint. North Ridge Pumps offers a variety of products which can meet the demands of future fuels.
