Abstract
The hydrogen compression system, comprises a source of gaseous hydrogen at a first pressure, and a mixing unit, adapted to mix hydrogen and an additional gaseous component at said first pressure, the additional gaseous component having an average molecular weight higher than hydrogen. A compression unit is adapted to compress a gaseous mixture comprising hydrogen and the additional gaseous component to a second pressure. A separation unit is fluidly coupled to the compression unit and adapted to separate compressed hydrogen from compressed additional gaseous component. An energy recovery arrangement is further provided to recover energy from the expansion of the compressed additional gaseous component from the second pressure to the third pressure. Disclosed is also a method for efficient hydrogen compression.
