Burkert
Bürkert Fluid Control Systems is a global leader in the measurement and control of liquids and gases.
Founded in Germany in 1946, the company offers over 30,000 products, ranging from individual components like valves and sensors to complete automated system solutions. Bürkert has positioned itself as a critical partner across the entire hydrogen value chain, from green hydrogen production to mobile and stationary usage. With over 25 years of experience in handling hydrogen, the company focuses on providing high-precision fluid controls to ensure safety, reliability, and efficiency in these demanding environments.
Key Areas of Focus
- Green Hydrogen Production (Electrolysis): Bürkert provides precise closed-loop control for both the anode and cathode sides of electrolysers. This includes:
- Temperature Control:Â Energy-saving cooling systems for the electrolysis process.
- Water Management:Â Precise monitoring of deionised water feed and recirculate.
- Pressure Management:Â Controlling backpressure to maximise efficiency.
- Fuel Cell Technology:Â Have developed peripheral components and integrated modules for mobile (automotive/transport) and stationary power systems.
- Anode Subsystems:Â Dedicated valves for safe hydrogen supply and shut-off.
- Water Separation:Â Compact solutions for precise dosing and water separation within the fuel cell stack.
- Infrastructure & Distribution: Bürkert has launched ultra-high-pressure valves capable of handling compressed hydrogen at pressures up to 1,034 bar (15,000 psi) for storage and refuelling stations.
- Compression:Managing hydrogen flow during the compression stages for transport.
- Refuelling Stations:Â Supplying components for mobile and stationary hydrogen filling stations.
- Test benches: For the industrialisation of products.
