Driving Sustainable Solutions in Hydrogen Applications
Oxford Flow has been at the forefront of technical development and innovation for nearly a decade. The key to our success lies in our commitment to tackling industry challenges head-on. Our core differentiator? Simplicity. The fewer components in a system, the fewer failure points—leading to enhanced reliability and resilience.
Resilience is critical in the energy transition and sustainable solutions, and Oxford Flow products are engineered with this in mind.
Hydrogen-Ready Technologies: ES Stemless Valve & IM-S Gas Regulator
What sets Oxford Flow’s ES stemless valve and IM-S gas regulator series apart? Fewer moving parts, reduced maintenance needs, and enhanced operational reliability.
- Stemless Control Valve Technology: Traditional control valves fail due to stem-related issues, which contribute to nearly 50% of emissions in refineries. Oxford Flow’s ES valve eliminates the stem, instantly reducing emissions and failure risks.
- Diaphragm-Free Regulators: Conventional gas regulators rely on diaphragms, which are prone to failure, maintenance issues, and shutdowns. Our IM-S gas regulators eliminate diaphragms, addressing key reliability concerns in hydrogen and biomethane applications.
Biomethane Applications & Grid Resilience
Oxford Flow’s IM-S and IM-C gas regulators are already deployed in biomethane facilities worldwide. Their maintenance-free nature is a game-changer in an industry where downtime leads to revenue loss and reduced resilience at grid entry points.
Proving Hydrogen-Readiness with SGN & LTS Futures
Oxford Flow is supporting SGN’s LTS Futures project by supplying 100% hydrogen-verified IM-S regulators to test and validate existing gas networks for hydrogen transition.
- Project Scope: Verifying that existing high-pressure gas pipelines feeding millions of homes can transition from natural gas to 100% hydrogen.
- Testing & Live Trials: Includes offsite facility testing and a live hydrogen pipeline trial transporting hydrogen from Grangemouth, Scotland.
Industry Adoption & Leading Gas Control Technology
Oxford Flow’s IM Series Gas Regulators are our most widely adopted technology due to their versatility across industries and fluids, from low-pressure domestic gas control to high-pressure offshore platforms.
- Industries Served: Energy transmission, industrial gas control, offshore platforms, and hydrogen infrastructure.
- Key Benefits: Low maintenance, modular design, and zero-emission capabilities.
Future Developments & Global Hydrogen Engagement
Oxford Flow is actively working on new innovations with global energy transporters and producers, set for release within the next year. We are also engaged in hydrogen projects across Europe and the USA, driving the transition toward sustainable energy solutions.
The Future of Gas Control Equipment
The gas control industry must go beyond hydrogen-ready solutions and address full lifecycle emissions reduction—from manufacturing to end-of-life disposal. Developing resilient, future-proof infrastructure that can accommodate emerging energy demands and alternative fuels is the key to a sustainable future.
Expanding Beyond Gas Control
Oxford Flow’s patented technology isn’t limited to gas applications—our solutions extend to process fluids, including water, oil, and multiphase flows, delivering unmatched performance across industries.
