Shanghai Tengxi Construction's Breakthrough Fire- and Explosion-Resistant Technology: A Solid Safeguard for Hydrogen Refueling Station Safety

Shanghai Tengxi Construction's Breakthrough Fire- and Blast-Resistant Technology: A Solid Guarantee for Hydrogen Refueling Station Safety

With the state vigorously promoting the hydrogen energy industry, hydrogen refueling stations, as critical infrastructure, are experiencing rapid development. Driven by both policy support and elevated safety standards, the design of hydrogen refueling stations must strictly comply with relevant regulations, including requirements for the placement distance, thickness, and fire performance of barrier walls, to effectively prevent fire and explosion risks and ensure public safety.

• Tengxi's innovative fire- and blast-resistant technology

Shanghai Tengxi Construction's independently developed lightweight fire- and blast-resistant panels have successfully passed 4-hour firewall fire endurance and explosion tests. This technology is tailored for high-risk scenarios, combining lightweight design with outstanding performance, not only meeting regulatory requirements but also providing an innovative safety solution.

Compared with traditional reinforced concrete walls, Shanghai Tengxi's lightweight fire- and blast-resistant panels offer advantages of smaller footprint, lighter weight, and faster construction, making them especially suitable for hydrogen refueling stations with limited space or requiring rapid deployment. In addition, the technology can be flexibly applied to wall and ceiling protection, meeting diverse design needs while effectively reducing overall construction costs and offering owners higher cost-effectiveness.

• High-precision explosion simulation and structural calculations

DNV Shanghai Tengxi uses explosion simulation analysis technology and Dlubal structural calculation software to deeply quantify potential explosion scenarios at hydrogen refueling stations and perform structural blast load calculations. Through these precise tools, different explosion scenarios under varying gas concentrations and pressure conditions are simulated, blast wave intensity and impact range are calculated, thereby designing fire- and blast-resistant panels capable of withstanding pressures up to 1000 kPa. In laboratory blast tests, this technology demonstrated excellent pressure resistance, significantly improving accident protection capability and providing comprehensive safety assurance for hydrogen refueling stations and their surrounding environments.

• Successful case studies validating technical strength

Shanghai Tengxi Construction's technology has been successfully applied in high-risk scenarios. From explosion simulation analysis to the design and construction of fire- and blast-resistant walls, the project successfully withstood actual blast impacts, comprehensively protecting personnel and equipment safety, fully demonstrating the reliability and practical value of Tengxi's technology.

• Helping the industry's future development

Shanghai Tengxi Construction's innovative fire- and blast-resistant technology sets a new benchmark for the safe development of hydrogen refueling stations. Facing the demands of the energy transition and net-zero emissions era, hydrogen refueling stations will play an increasingly important role. Tengxi's technology not only complies with current regulations but is also prepared for higher future safety standards, providing strong support for the rapid development of the hydrogen industry and making an important contribution to the advancement of global hydrogen technologies.
