Noble Gas Systems Inc. in Wixom has become the first producer of non-carbon fiber conformable gas storage systems to pass ISO-11119-3 requirements and secure a U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Special Permit.
The DOT Special Permit authorizes the manufacture, sale, and use of Noble Gas’s conformable gas storage system for over-the-road transportation of compressed hydrogen gas and inert gases in the U.S.
It also acknowledges the company’s refillable technology meets international standards for the design, construction, and testing required for the safe storage and transport of compressed or liquified gases.
Together, the DOT Special Permit and ISO 11119-3 certification requirements further support the strength, safety, and readiness of Noble Gas’s conformable high-pressure vessel technology, according to the company.
“This is another exciting step forward for our team and technology,” says Chris Kondogiani, CEO of Noble Gas Systems. “Being the first conformable storage producer to achieve these recognitions speaks to the commitment, rigor, and innovation we bring to the high-pressure gas storage challenge.
“This milestone is a significant accelerator for our commercial partners seeking safer, scalable, and more efficient high pressure gas storage solutions.”
Noble Gas officials say their non-carbon fiber conformable gas storage systems have applications in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty transportation; aviation; bulk storage; and other markets.
