Hykonis
Next-Generation Hydrogen Logistics
Patented technology for maximum safety and efficiency
With its headquarters in Stuhr, south of Bremen, HYKONIS stands for innovative solutions in the field of hydrogen logistics. We manufacture state-of-the-art Multiple Element Gas Containers (MEGCs) for transporting hydrogen – using only Type-IV containers, in the testing, integration and processing of which we are certified experts.
Our containers make the safe transport of up to 1,200 kg of hydrogen possible, and we are setting new standards in safety and efficiency.
Precision and safety
in gas logistics
HYKONIS MEGC models
the right solution for your application
Efficient, safe and flexible – our Multiple Element Gas Containers are available in three versions:
Experts in the handling
of Type-IV containers
The HYKONIS MEGC is equipped with advanced Type-IV containers.
Compared to conventional containers made of steel or metal composites, Type-IV containers are composed of a plastic inner liner and a fiber-reinforced outer shell – and this offers a number of key advantages:
Up to 70% lighter
than steel
perfect for
mobile applications
Non-metallic
materials
resistant against corrosion
and a long service life
High pressure
resistance
safe storage at
high pressure levels
All reasons why leading companies
choose Type-IV vessels.
Inerting
LEARN MORE +Challenge
Until now, inertization has only been possible using nitrogen, and at great expense
OUR SOLUTION
Globally unique testing and initial filling system allows vacuum inertization
Gas purity
LEARN MORE +Challenge
Until now, the only way of achieving gas purity during initial filling has been to use complex cyclic pressure flushing
OUR SOLUTION
Globally unique testing and initial filling system provides gas purity of 99.99% with no flushing loss
Drying
LEARN MORE +Challenge
Without a vacuum, it is very difficult to reliably dry Type IV containers
OUR SOLUTION
Globally unique testing and initial filling system uses a vacuum to dry containers
Real
leak test
The entire system is tested using hydrogen as the real test gas
Vacuum-tested individual containers
Every container is vacuum tested with hydrogen to ensure it is leak-proof
Stress-free pipeline system
Compensates for the expansion and contraction of Type-IV containers
