Advancing Your Hydrogen Projects: Ensuring Reliability Beyond Traditional Oil and Gas Systems

The global shift toward clean energy demands a fundamental change in how fluid systems are engineered. For companies transitioning from traditional oil and gas (O&G) operations, it’s critical to understand that standard oil and gas components and design principles are inadequate for hydrogen applications.

Designing safe, efficient, and reliable systems for hydrogen production, transport, and dispensing requires a specialized approach. 

This ensures system integrity, operational efficiency, and maximum safety—factors essential for your project’s success and optimizing the Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH).

Specialized Expertise for Project Acceleration

By partnering with Swagelok Malaysia, you gain access to the specialized knowledge and proven components needed to accelerate your project timeline while guaranteeing maximum safety and long-term asset integrity.

1) Hydrogen-specific Expertise 

Our team helps you mitigate risks such as embrittlement and leakage through deep knowledge of materials science and fluid dynamics, preventing costly failures before they occur. This expertise delivers measurable value—our ultrasonic leak detection service helped one customer identify and repair system leaks, resulting in $6,078 in annual gas savings, effectively paying for the service entirely.           

2) Component Reliability Assurance

We reduce downtime and maintenance by providing fittings and valves engineered for superior leak-tightness and long-term durability. This reliability is demonstrated by a leading Green Hydrogen OEM, whose team successfully remade our fittings more than 20 times without a single leak in high-pressure testing conditions, significantly cutting production costs and eliminating the likelihood of future onsite maintenance.           

3) Regulatory Compliance Support

We help you accelerate certification timelines and meet rigorous industry standards critical for large-scale energy initiatives. Our collaboration with Luxfer Gas Cylinders is one example: we developed and supplied certified fittings and valves within a demanding 14-month timeframe, enabling them to achieve required certification for hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles on schedule.
