Messer has supplied FIBA’s tubes for a hydrogen refueling station at an auto manufacturer in South Carolina.  The high pressure storage system will feature 22 tubes, each be capable of storing 34.1 kg of hydrogen at 450 bar, for the refuelling of a growing number of forklifts at the plant.

Stephen Finn, VP of Sales and Marketing at FIBA, says:  “The auto manufacturer plant has a significant fleet of hydrogen-powered material handling equipment and machines, and it is now expanding its hydrogen refuelling capabilities. FIBA is proud to have been selected by Messer to provide the hydrogen storage for this installation.”
