Diaphragm compressors are the preferred compression equipment for applications where the environment and safety are of primary concern. Their basic design provides leak tight and non-contaminating gas compression.

PPI, Milton Roy has developed and extensively tested Hydrogen compressors specifically for the demands of hydrogen fuel cell refueling stations. A hydrogen refueling station must be on-line 24/7. PPI, Milton Roy diaphragm compressors for hydrogen refueling stations have been developed using the latest technology in solids modeling and FEA analysis. All Hydrogen compressor working components have been designed and tested for reliability and longevity.

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It is an efficient, renewable and non-polluting fuel.
