Hydrogen & Specialty Gas Systems
Hydrogen systems don’t forgive mistakes. Every flange, anchor, and alignment must be perfect—or the system won’t be safe, won’t be stable, and won’t perform.
Tillson Industrial supports hydrogen production, compression, and utility systems with field-proven mechanical services designed to minimize risk and maximize uptime. From electrolyzer skids to compressor packages and chillers, we bring elite millwright capability to one of the world’s most sensitive mechanical environments.
Whether you’re building green hydrogen infrastructure, upgrading process gas lines, or maintaining pressure-critical components—we’re the mechanical deployment partner that delivers first-time-right results.
What We Support
We install, align, and support mechanical systems for:
- Hydrogen compression packages (reciprocating, diaphragm, screw)
- Electrolyzer skids and dryer systems
- High-purity utility skids and gas panels
- Mechanical tie-ins for chillers, pumps, and blowers
- Anchor bolt placement and epoxy grout foundations
- Engineered pipe strain relief and thermal expansion alignment
We also support related high-pressure and high-purity gas systems (nitrogen, oxygen, natural gas, argon, CO₂, etc.) across industrial and renewable applications.
Why Precision Matters in Hydrogen Systems
Hydrogen moves fast. It leaks through the smallest gaps. It embrittles metal. And it makes every misalignment a potential failure point.
Poor mechanical installation leads to:
- Seal blowouts and shaft wear
- Vibrations that destroy bearings and couplings
- Misaligned tie-ins that crack bases or strain pipes
- Start-up failures and system downtime
- Hazardous leaks or environmental compliance issues
Tillson eliminates those risks with certified installation, alignment, and documentation protocols—because the margin for error is zero.
Our Hydrogen Deployment Process
1. Pre-Install Walkdown & Scope Confirmation
We review equipment layout, anchor points, pipe paths, base spec, and tie-in orientation. Thermal growth and vibration tolerances are mapped to ensure compliance.
2. Base Setting & Foundation Prep
We install and torque anchors, shim and level bases, and apply Chockfast® or epoxy grout with full cure monitoring. Every support holds.
3. Equipment Rigging & Installation
We rig and place compressors, skids, pumps, dryers, and associated equipment—always with laser-level alignment and risk mitigation for confined or delicate installs.
4. Alignment & Tie-In Work
We perform DBSE and thermal growth alignment, install flex connections and relief joints, and eliminate pipe strain before system pressurization.
5. Final Verification & Mechanical Standby
We check torque, vibration limits, and alignment specs. Tillson can also support third-party leak tests, startup supervision, or commissioning as needed.
