Specialising primarily in the Oil, Gas and Petrochemical industries, the Oliver companies operate internationally across all regions, with sales teams strategically located to fulfill our mission of providing outstanding technical customer service, on-time deliveries and continued Engineering innovation to all customers worldwide.There is an increasing need for alternative fuels to the normal hydrocarbon products and with the abundance of water, which is simply hydrogen and oxygen, the use of hydrogen as a fuel is becoming more and more widespread. To provide a reliable valve solution to the market Oliver’s have qualified a new range specifically designed and constructed for hydrogen service.The Oliver range of hydrogen needle and ball valves have been specifically designed suitable for use with the gas. Some metallic materials are susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement, which can lead to cracking and failure. Therefore all the wetted materials within the Oliver valves are suitable for hydrogen. Some elastomer materials can degrade in contact with the gas and blister due to rapid gas decompression. Therefore all sealing materials within the Oliver valves are fluoropolymers which are ideally suited for hydrogen.
