Composite pressure vessels (CPVs) for high-pressure storage and transport of clean natural gas (CNG) and hydrogen are one of the fastest-growing markets for advanced composites. The growing demand—especially for high-volume production of tanks for hydrogen—is forcing Tier-One and equipment suppliers to think beyond traditional filament winding and demand equipment with higher quality control, lower cycle times, reduced downtime, improved material handling, and increased integration with all the steps in the production process.

Agenda:

• Mikrosam’s experience in filament winding (FW) CPVs
• Automating and scaling the FW operation
• Key consideration for moving from R&D to high-volume serial production
