Murphy Company was contracted by National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to design-assist the hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, and wildcard bulk storage distribution system. The purpose of this project was to allow the point-of-use of carbon monoxide and hydrogen within 12 different research laboratories. This scope of work also provided carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane to the NREL Functional Lab Testing Building’s Pilot Plant.
This project was performed in a fully operational facility where our team collaborated and coordinated with each lab group in order to minimize impacts to the lab’s and facility’s day-to-day operations while maintaining the consistent flow of work.
Highlights of this project include:
- Successfully led an entire flammable lab gas system (Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane, Wildcard Gases) redesign effort.
- Decreasing the flammable lab gas helium leak testing scope by approximately $200,000.
- Zero recordable injuries and zero first aid instances.
