Milani Case Study
An electrolyser stack integration
In this section, you will review a real-world case study featuring Milani. Here we will showcase the successful integration story and learn from their experiences, challenges faced, and final results.
About Milani
Founded in 1964 as a family company, Milani S.p.A. rapidly broadened its activities realising important projects and transforming the company from a family business into an industrial enterprise, able to equally deal with small private clients and big industrial ones. Located in Osnago, Milani S.p.A. has 800 sqm of office space and a warehouse of 2000 sqm, and is equipped with a photovoltaic system.
Overview
Milani has got a sound division involved in skid manufacturing for the chemical, oil and gas and pharma industries, with particular expertise in dealing with the generation and purification of technical gases.
It is approaching the green H2 market sector through the production of electrolysers utilizing Stargate’s Stack and combining it with advanced system of energy storage and H2 reconversion into electric and thermal energy.
Installation of an operative unit in Milani’s HQ has been kicked off in the 2nd half of 2023 and began operations in Spring 2024. It leverages excess energy from photovoltaics to venture into green hydrogen production utilizing Stargate’s alkaline stack.
Objectives
Milani‘s project target consists of demonstrating the capabilities of Hydrogen in the building sector, having a full-scale unit that will contribute to decarbonizing the operation of large buildings.
Why Stargate
Milani explored multiple stack suppliers in Stargate found the ideal partner. Stargate’s pressurized alkaline stack stood out for its excellent compatibility and consistent support from the initial meeting through integration.
Paola Quadri, Tech BU Manager commented – “We aspire to lead the way in hydrogen technology within Italy and extend our solutions to clients across Europe. With Stargate Hydrogen by our side, we envision a collaborative future and are resolute in our commitment to nurturing a robust and enduring partnership.”
The Outcome
The project is installed in Osnago (Milan Area) in Italy and will be visited by many primary Italian and international companies and presented at the main H2 and Energy exhibitions in Italy. The product will be sold on a similar scale to manage energy production in building and industrial applications. A scale-up version will provide a valid and efficient solution for H2 valleys.
