Summary

To cover the demand of a steadily rising liquid hydrogen market, Linde has erected an industrial-scale hydrogen supply and liquefaction plant at Ingolstadt near Munich. It is located at a refinery site, where it utilizes hydrogen-rich waste gas. The liquefier has a daily liquefaction capacity of 4.4 tons and is based on a Claude process with nitrogen precooling. Apart from the liquefier, the whole plant comprises a PSA purification, a high-pressure hydrogen compressor station, a liquid hydrogen storage tank and filling stations for gaseous and liquid hydrogen trailers.
