Aumatech awarded for the supply of GLT (Gas Leak Testing) machine for hydrogen.

Innovative Solutions for a Greener Future

Aumatech srl, a renowned name in the field of industrial automation, has received a significant new order to manufacture a  tracer gas leak testing machine with accumulation chamber, specifically tailored for type4 pressure vessels for CNG-H2 (Compressed Natural Gas-Hydrogen) applications. This development marks a pivotal step in addressing the technology for effective leak testing , which is crucial for the quality check of the product and therefore the transition to renewable energy sources it can deliver.

Significance of the New Project awarded.

The new order underscores the growing demand for reliable and efficient leak testing systems in the automotive, transportation and energy sectors. As high pressure renewable fuel gas applications become more prevalent, ensuring the integrity and safety of fuel systems is paramount. The accumulation chamber leak testing system by Aumatech addresses these critical needs by offering a fair compromise between cost and performance.

Feasibility study saw close collaboration among Aumatech, customer and testing entities in order to come up with compliant solution to both regulations and manufacturing process at customer’s plant.

Benefits for CNG-H2 Applications

The choice of Aumatech's leak testing system offers several benefits to the vessel’s manufacturer:

• Enhanced Safety: by leak testing 100% of the production inside the plant, the system prevents potential hazards afterwards, ensuring the safe operation of fuel/transport systems where the vessel is applied.
• Improved Efficiency: leak detection’s accurate capabilities contribute to the optimal performance of CNG-H2 systems, reducing energy losses and operational costs (e.g. call-back or reworking ones).
• Solution affordability: test parameters are reached by minimizing both Capex investment and operational costs compared to a more sophisticated Leak Testing system in vacuum chamber.

Aumatech's Commitment to Innovation

Aumatech has consistently demonstrated its dedication to innovation and excellence in industrial automation, thanks to the continuous  Research & Development activity carried out over the years . This new order witnesses company's expertise and its ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of the market.

Innovative solutions for leak testing from Aumatech now count with:

• Underwater bubble air detection by ultrasonic
