After working 37 years for a leading global industrial gases manufacturer, of which the last three decades as project specialist Liquid Hydrogen (ADR: UN 1966), I am now an independent self-employed LH2 specialist. In my previous role I was involved in every LH2 project that was awarded in Europe, from early start to turnkey delivery. This included equipment selection, supervise installation and carry out cooldown, first fill and final commissioning, as well as modification and extension of existing installations.
This also included non-visible work, like location check, procurement selection, customer training, procedure development, and contribution as SME in HAZID's, HAZOP's and QRA's. These projects were carried out at customer sites throughout Europe, who are main players in (semi) conductor industry, (petrol) chemicals and aerospace that require hydrogen for its Ultra High Purity (chips manufacturing) or in large quantities (chemical and aerospace; rocket engine testing).
In the past two decades, I was also involved in HRS (Hydrogen Refuelling Stations), both 350 Bar and 700 Bar gaseous hydrogen (ADR: UN 1049) in standards development, engineering, demonstration and installation.
