Electricore, Inc. would utilize DOE and cost share funding to design, develop, deploy, and analyze the economic viability of an advanced hydrogen mobile fueler (AHMF) to support a hydrogen station during regularly scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Design, development, and fabrication activities would occur at Hydrogen Technology & Energy Corporation's (HTEC) facility in Vancouver, Canada. The mobile fueler would then be tested and demonstrated by Air Liquide at a minimum of three sites within the northeastern region of the U.S. or within California. The sites are anticipated to be operated by Air Liquide at existing hydrogen stations, or hydrogen stations currently being built. Testing would take place for a minimum of 18 months.
Design, development, and fabrication of the AHMF would occur at HTEC’s industrial engineering facility built for assembly, testing, and maintenance activities. Both HTEC and Air Liquide regularly handle, store and dispose of hydrogen fuel. In order to mitigate any hazards, the team would follow all Federal, State, and local regulations, in addition to internal company safety requirements and guidelines. The team would also follow a previously defined Quality Management System for this project, which includes Risk Assessments and HAZOP reviews, Management of Change, Procurement controls, Operations and Maintenance Procedures, and Auditing for compliance based on years of experience and the ISO 9001 standard.
