Hydrogen Facility
Project Overview
Engineering Design Services supported the engineering and design of a hydrogen generation facility located in the State of Washington. The facility utilizes green Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology to produce hydrogen as part of a sustainable energy initiative. EDS contributed during the construction phase by developing key engineering documentation and supporting process safety reviews to ensure operational reliability and compliance.
Result & Impact
• Delivered comprehensive engineering documentation supporting facility design and operations
• Improved system clarity, consistency, and operational reliability through structured PFD and P&ID development
• Enhanced process safety through formal HAZOP risk identification and mitigation planning
• Supported the development of sustainable hydrogen production infrastructure
• Ensured alignment with industry best practices and safety standards
• Strengthened the facility’s readiness for safe and efficient long-term operation
