Sydney-based Amtronics announced a new division—Australian Hydrogen Generation—which will provide all equipment from generation and purification to compression, storage, installation and maintenance.

Discussions are being held around the need for major hydrogen generation investment in Australia and New Zealand. Leveraging off Australia’s position to exploit a niche in the market, Amtronics decided to move forward to start building larger hydrogen generating plants for Australian companies.

Since 2013, our plants have produced nitrogen and hydrogen on an industrial scale. This complex combination has given us crucial on-site experience in demanding difficult 24/7 supply. These plants are critical infrastructure to keeping our core business of laser cutting factories running.

We have learned some hard lessons about the complexity of producing a constant reliable supply of nitrogen and Hydrogen generation, and we have sourced an excellent OEM, ErreDue, who have over 30 years’ experience in providing extremely reliable equipment.

—Sebastian Ruis, owner and chief engineer of Amtronics

Amtronics’ projects have led to running six plants between Australia and New Zealand with hydrogen and nitrogen onsite generation, as well as compression and storage.
