Douna Machinery is a factory active in mechanical machine building for 100 years. Ultimate experience in prototype construction of various machines where the gas industry is the biggest part. With our own engineering department, we can assist from idea to assembly and production of complete machines. Nowadays Douna is connecting green technologies, for example for future energy supply or energy storage. In addition, precision large machining, certified welding, assembly and measuring in a conditioned measuring room are key words that belong to Douna’s craftsmanship.
The industrial hydrogen ecosystem in the Northern Netherlands is receiving a significant boost with the delivery of the WAviatER project in September 2023. Douna played a significant role in this project as developing partner. With consortium partners an 1 MW Hydrogen production technology is built for the Aviation sector and Energy applications as demonstration facility on airport Eelde. On the roof of Douna Machinery factory 1400 solar panels generate 550.000 KWh of electricity per year. That is enough to provide about 200 households with power for a year.
In addition, it will also save 124 tons of CO2 . In 2026 Douna produced their latest prototype of an alkaline electrolyser. Developed for use in education and as a test platform for hydrogen innovations. Membrane-based electrolysers (PEM & AEM) under development, see www.douna.nl
