Challenge

The client required a specialized testing environment to burn hydrogen gas mixtures for validating advanced aerospace materials. Implementing this setup required a rigorous infrastructural adaptation to mitigate severe explosion risks, demanding absolute compliance with the ATEX directive.

Solution

Proximo engineered and delivered a complete hydrogen combustion test rig with integrated control panels for safe, remote operations. Simultaneously, our team executed a comprehensive modernization of the facility, adapting it into a highly secure, specialized Hydrogen Laboratory adhering to hazardous zone regulations.

Scope of Work

Comprehensive engineering and integration services:

• Mechanical design and engineering of the hydrogen combustion chamber
• Development of automation, remote control, and safety interlocking systems
• Infrastructural modernization of the Hydrogen Laboratory
• Selection and integration of ATEX-compliant equipment
• System manufacturing and technical commissioning

Outcome

The Rzeszów University of Technology successfully deployed a fully operational Hydrogen Laboratory. The integration of specialized remote-control architectures minimized operational risks, enabling safe and repeatable thermal verification processes.
