System Design and Integration
Comprehensive system architectures for industrial hydrogen applications
We develop robust system designs for fuel cell and electrolysis systems – from initial requirements to a validated overall architecture. In doing so, we consider the interaction of all components, media, interfaces, and operating strategies. Our focus is on scalability, safety, and industrial feasibility. In this way, we lay the foundation for efficient mass production processes and reliable long-term operation.
Engineering for your Production
From the stack to the functional system
We develop process engineering systems for mobile and stationary hydrogen systems – including electrolysers, fuel cells, and burners. We implement our solutions either as standalone systems, as part of smart hybridization strategies, or as an integral component of existing energy grids.
We provide comprehensive support throughout the process: from the preparation of technical documentation and theoretical analyses to practical implementation on-site. This ensures that your hydrogen technology is optimally tailored to your specific requirements.
Process
We develop customized piping and instrumentation diagrams according to your specifications, including technical market research to select compatible components for safe plant operation.
Construction
We develop a CAD model based on the component list or according to your own bill of materials.
Analysis
We can assist you in preparing risk and hazard assessments, as well as work and testing instructions.

Stack Design for Your Value Creation
We offer engineering services across the entire hydrogen value chain—whether it involves processes, components, stacks, or systems. We are your partner for hydrogen system production lines.
Design
Cell and System Design
We translate requirements into a scalable cell and system design. In doing so, we define operating windows, interfaces, and target parameters as the foundation for all subsequent development steps.
Construction
CAD for System and Plate Design
We develop plate geometries, including duct routing, gasket and tolerance specifications. Manufacturing and installation are taken into account from the very beginning.
Validation
Simulation
We validate our designs using
- Flow simulation
- Manufacturing and Forming Simulation
- Tension simulation
- Flatness prediction
