General information

Short Summary
A French SME specialized in high-pressure gas management has developed a patented modular technology for gas regulation, particularly adapted to hydrogen and other industrial gases. The technology, based on a plug-and-play concept, integrates multiple control and safety functions into compact, scalable units. The company seeks industrial and technological partners for commercial agreements with technical assistance or research cooperation.
Full Description
A French company with over 14 years of experience in the industrial gas sector offers a disruptive technology platform for high-pressure gas regulation, specifically designed for demanding applications such as hydrogen mobility, industrial gas distribution and defense sectors.

The core innovation is a patented modular technology combining two primary elements: a Smart Cube, which allows leak-tight and flexible plug-and-play assembly without the need for tubing or fittings, and an interchangeable Cartouche, which performs a specific function such as pressure regulation, filtration, or shut-off. This design results in enhanced modularity, upgradability, and ease of maintenance.

The solution has proven particularly effective in hydrogen handling systems, including electrolyzer interfaces, high-pressure storage and buffer systems (up to 95 MPa), trailer loading/unloading systems, and dispenser panels. The modular approach enables the configuration of bespoke gas panels tailored to customer-specific needs, facilitating fast deployment, increased safety, and reduced operational cost.
The technology is intended for partners seeking advanced gas regulation and distribution solutions for hydrogen and other gases. The company is open to collaborations through commercial agreements with technical assistance, joint development, or research and development cooperation agreements for further product integration or adaptation to new use cases.
