OEM Automatic Delivers Hydrogen Valve Expertise with OMAL

As hydrogen continues to play an increasingly important role in the transition to cleaner energy, the demand for reliable, high-performance valve technology has never been greater. At OEM Automatic, we are helping customers navigate this evolving sector through our specialist knowledge of hydrogen applications and our partnership with OMAL, a leading manufacturer of hydrogen-compatible valve solutions.

Hydrogen presents unique engineering challenges. Its small molecular size, high operating pressures and potential to cause material embrittlement mean that conventional valve designs are often unsuitable. Selecting the right valve is critical to ensuring safety, reliability and long-term performance throughout the hydrogen value chain.

Through OEM Automatic, customers have access to OMAL’s dedicated hydrogen valve range, which is designed for use across production, storage, transportation and refuelling applications. The portfolio includes angle valves, floating ball valves, trunnion-mounted ball valves and high-pressure ball valves covering operating pressures from 25 bar up to 700 bar. Their flagship H2 INVICTUS valve is described as the world's first PN700 hydrogen ball valve certified by TÜV SÜD according to ISO 19880-3, supporting demanding hydrogen refuelling applications.

However, successful hydrogen projects require more than selecting a valve from a catalogue. OEM Automatic works closely with customers, OEMs, system integrators and plant designers to understand the specific demands of each application. Our technical team provides guidance on valve selection, automation, material compatibility and system integration, helping customers develop safe and efficient hydrogen systems.

A key strength of OEM Automatic is our ability to deliver bespoke valve solutions. Many hydrogen installations require customised assemblies that combine valves, actuators, sensors and control components into a complete package. Our engineering expertise enables us to supply pre-configured and tested solutions tailored to individual project requirements, simplifying installation while reducing procurement complexity and commissioning time.

As the hydrogen industry continues to grow, OEM Automatic remains committed to supporting customers with both proven technology and expert application knowledge. By combining OMAL’s advanced hydrogen valve range with our consultative approach and bespoke engineering capabilities, we help customers implement dependable flow control solutions that are ready for the challenges of the energy transition.
