Adaptive Air Compressors recently completed a custom-engineered solution for the Gladstone Proton Exchange Membrane 50MV (PEM50) Project, a state-of-the-art hydrogen production facility. The project required a containerised instrument air compressor package that met the highest standards of efficiency, reliability, and innovation.
Client Requirements
The client, who was managing the 50MW Hydrogen Production Facility, had clear and rigorous requirements for the containerised air compressor package. They sought a reliable, efficient solution that would enhance energy efficiency, aligning with the facilities sustainability goals. A custom design was needed to integrate seamlessly into the facilities infrastructure. Additionally, complete engineering documentation and 3D models were required to simplify maintenance procedures and minimise operational disruptions.
The Solution
Adaptive Air Compressors tackled this project with a meticulous and systematic approach, ensuring every client expectation was surpassd. The process began with a comprehensive assessment of the client's needs and the operational demands of the hydrogen production facility. The engineering team worked closely with the client to design a customised solution that included:
- Chicago Pneumatic CPVS 151 PM Variable Speed IE4 Permanent Magnet Screw Compressor
- Pneumatech AD 1250 Refrigerant Dryer & Filtration
- 89mm Surepress Stainless Steel Pressfit Pipework
- Extraction Fan and Inlet + Outlet Ducting
- Custom Control Panel and Electrical
A custom-designed and built container was developed to house all the components, offering optimal protection and functionality. It featured robust construction, an integrated control board, and easy access to all equipment for maintenance purposes.

The Fabrication and Assembly Process
Once the design was finalised, our skilled technicians began the fabrication process. Key steps included:
- Precision fabrication: Crafting the container and components to exact specifications
- Component integration: Installing the compressor, dryer, filtration, pressfit pipework, exhaust fan, ducting, control panel and electrical connections with meticulous attention to detail
Testing and Quality Assurance Checks
Before delivering the completed container to the client, rigorous testing and quality assurance checks were conducted to ensure:
- Operational efficiency: The system operated at peak efficiency under various load conditions.
- Reliability: All components functioned seamlessly together, with no risk of operational failures.
- Compliance: The system met all relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements.
