Hydrogen Park Facility (HyP SA)

Hydrogen Park SA (HyP SA) is an innovative energy project to produce renewable hydrogen, for blending with natural gas via the local gas distribution network.

Valmec was contracted by AGIG to complete the engineering, procurement, and construction of the HyP SA project, located at the Tonsley Innovation District in Adelaide.

The facility includes a 1.25 MW Siemens electrolyser for hydrogen generation, hydrogen buffer storage, controls, and gas blending equipment.  This will enable the injection of hydrogen into the low-pressure gas network, supplying gas to nearby properties with up to 5% blended hydrogen as part of a five-year demonstration.  The facility also includes provisions to supply hydrogen to third parties via hydrogen tube trailers.

• Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contract
• Works included the complete multi-discipline construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, performance testing, and handover of all associated systems to AGIG.

• The site, which is located in an urban infill area within Adelaide, required due consideration during design to potential impacts on neighbouring land use.
• COVID impacts to supply chain, and interstate travel restrictions.

• This facility is set to be the largest renewable Hydrogen generation facility delivered in Australia to date.
• The facility will be the first in Australia to blend gas into an existing domestic gas distribution network.
• Valmec leveraged its experience in specialised gas processing facilities and electrical hazardous area installations to deliver a high-quality and compliant installation.
• Ongoing project concept reviews with Client to improve constructability and fit for purpose design.
• Understanding of regulations, permits, and approvals to achieve construction and service connections with local councils and governing bodies.
