Ultima Forma's Electrodeposited Hydrogen Storage Tank Liner is based on the company's patented hydrogen-barrier technology for high-pressure gaseous-hydrogen containment. The process forms a very thin, continuous metallic barrier that can serve as the liner inside a composite hydrogen storage tank, helping reduce hydrogen permeation without the mass of a conventional thick metallic vessel wall. Ultima Forma can tailor electroformed structures through controlled deposition and supports customer programmes from design and hydrogen modelling through validation and scalable manufacture. The liner technology also supports lower-cost containment concepts where storage pressures are lower.

Use Cases

  • High-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage tanks
  • Composite hydrogen pressure vessels
  • Aerospace hydrogen storage
  • Automotive hydrogen storage
  • Marine hydrogen storage
  • Lower-pressure hydrogen containment systems

Capabilities

  • Provides a continuous metallic hydrogen barrier inside a storage vessel
  • Supports lightweight composite pressure-vessel architectures
  • Can be engineered for customer-specific geometry and containment requirements
  • Can transition from prototype development to scalable electroforming manufacture
