The safety of hydrogen refuelling stations: a major challenge for Atawey

Top News12/09/2020
Atawey designs and manufactures hydrogen refuelling stations for vehicles and equipment. Their main challenge is to meet the varied and often specific needs of their customers – whether municipalities, transport companies or industrialists – by offering modular and adaptable solutions. In practical terms, this means that Atawey must ensure that its stations can be scaled and configured for a wide range of uses, such as powering a few buses or an entire fleet of trucks, while integrating seamlessly into their local environment. Ensuring the safety of the installations and regulatory compliance is essential to the deployment of these stations.

Atawey is a company specialising in the design, installation and operation of hydrogen refuelling stations.

 

"In our field, safety is a key issue. To ensure optimum safety for all stakeholders, we have entrusted Apave's teams with carrying out preliminary risk analyses (PRAs). This has enabled us to cover risks beyond our “H2 station” product, taking into account the overall environment. This proactive approach reflects our commitment to offering enhanced safety to our customers and their users by integrating risk management from the pre-design phase of our stations."


Customer vision

This collaboration has been a real catalyst for challenging and enriching our approach. It has enabled us to adopt a more comprehensive view of risk management, taking into account the entire environment and context in which our products are used.

We were able to consider harmonising designs and safety approaches, with an upstream process that anticipates all eventualities.
This collaborative work has enabled us to strengthen our practices and guarantee a high level of safety across all our projects while optimising our costs.

Apave International supplemented the various services provided in France to support Atawey in exporting its equipment.

This involved identifying the regulatory specifications applicable in various European Union countries that could impact the design, installation and operation of hydrogen production and distribution equipment for vehicles. The project was carried out in Italy and Belgium, with potential extensions to Spain, the Netherlands, Germany and the United Kingdom.
